China ‡ University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, P. R. China ABSTRACT: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an essential role in regulating various physiological functions of living organisms. The intrinsic biochemical properties of ROS, which underlie the mechanisms necessary for the growth, fitness, or aging of living organisms, have been driving researchers to take full advantage of these active chemical species for contributing to medical advances. Thanks to the remarkable advances in nanotechnology, great varieties of nanomaterials with unique ROS-regulating properties have been explored to guide the temporospatial dynamic behaviors of ROS in biological milieu, which contributes to the emergence of a new-generation therapeutic methodology, i.e., nanomaterial-guided in vivo ROS evolution for therapy. The interdependent relationship between ROS and their corresponding chemistry, biology, and nanotherapy leads us to propose the concept of “ROS science”, which is believed to be an emerging scientific discipline that studies the chemical mechanisms, biological effects, and nanotherapeutic applications of ROS. In this review, state-of-art studies concerning recent progresses on ROS-based nanotherapies have been summarized in detail, with an emphasis on underlying material chemistry of nanomaterials by which ROS are generated or scavenged for improved therapeutic outcomes. Furthermore, key scientific issues in the evolution of ROS-based cross-disciplinary fields have also been discussed, aiming to unlock the innate powers of ROS for optimized therapeutic efficacies. We expect that our demonstration on this evolving field will be beneficial to the further development of ROS-based fundamental researches and clinical applications.

reduction of oxygen.2 It mainly includes superoxide anion (O2•−), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), singlet oxygen (1O2), and hydroxyl radical (•OH).3−8 These chemical species participate in phenomena that traverse all of biology, playing an essential role in regulating various physiological functions of living organisms.9 The intrinsic biochemical properties of ROS underlie the mechanisms necessary for the development of living organisms, while overproduction of ROS leads to oxidative stress that is implicated in numbers of diseases such as cancer,10 neurodegenerative diseases,11 inflammation,12 etc. The past century has witnessed the joint efforts that chemists and biologists have made to unveil these chemical species and their underlying redox chemistry, which also benefits us to conceive feasible ROS-related therapeutic approaches. However, on account of the transient and reactive nature of ROS, as well as the unpredictability of related biological processes, a major question for ROS-based therapeutics is how we can finely regulate ROS concentrations within an expected threshold, thus to initiate therapeutic effects for making medical advances? Thanks to the marked breakthroughs in the field of nanotechnology, especially in nanochemistry and nanofabrication technologies, great varieties of nanomaterials with unique ROS-regulating properties have been fabricated to favor ROSinvolved chemical reactions for extensive biomedical applications. Such a nanoenabled integration of material science with ROS chemistry and biology has catalyzed the emergence of a next-generation therapeutic methodology: we can first tune the biochemical properties of ROS-based nanomedicine based on the nanosynthetic chemistry, thus to regulate the generation, evolution, and depletion processes of ROS in different biological scenarios, which finally benefits the ROS-based therapeutic outcomes. On account of the predictability of chemical synthesis for the fabrication of ROS-based nanoplatforms, this strategy can be highly feasible. A further consideration is the phenomenon that the naissance of this therapeutic strategy facilitates the gradual fusion among different research fields. In the past century, the rapid growth of ROS-related researches has greatly enriched our knowledge on the biochemical properties of ROS and ROS-related artificial materials, as manifested in the following three aspects: (1) chemists investigate the ROS-involved reaction mechanisms such as pathways and kinetics; (2) biologists unveil the biological processes of ROS and their physiological roles in organisms; (3) materials scientists demonstrate the features of nanodimensional materials in guiding the temporospatial dynamic behaviors of ROS. The interdependent relationship among ROS chemistry, biology, and nanotechnology leads us to propose the concept of “ROS science”, which is believed to be an emerging discipline that studies ROS-based chemical mechanisms, biological effects, and nanomaterials. As a cross-disciplinary research field, ROS science elucidates the fundamental principles of its three subdisciplines: ROS chemistry, ROS biology, and ROS nanotechnology, seeks to disclose the underlying material chemistry of ROS-regulating nanomaterials, and considers rational therapeutic strategies based on these tailored nanoplatforms, aiming to contribute to the further development of various therapeutic modalities (Figure 1). It draws from chemistry, biology, material science, physics, pathophysiology, pharmacology, oncology, etc., displaying the intrinsic crossdisciplinary nature of ROS science as proposed herein. The core of ROS science can be described as follows: based on a comprehensive understanding of the chemical/biological

1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Definition of “ROS Science”

As Professor Jean-Marie Lehn, 1987 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, once stated in his monograph: “the chemist finds inspiration in the ingenuity of biological events and encouragement in the demonstration that such high efficiencies, selectivities, and rates can indeed be attained.”1 This motto guides scientists to link chemistry with biology to promote social progress. For example, chemistry and biology can contribute, in an integrated manner, to the emergence of numerous therapeutic approaches, armed with the better understanding on how chemical species affect various physiological activities and how we can unlock the innate powers of these chemical species for ultimate therapeutic aims. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a collective term that describes the chemical species formed upon incomplete B

1894, when Fenton reported strong oxidation characteristics of H2O2 in the presence of Fe2+,13 ROS chemistry had entered into its era, and since then, great numbers of researches have successfully demonstrated the chemical intercorrelations among ROS and nature, materials, as well as biological milieu. The deeper elucidation of ROS chemistry benefits us to trace the origin of ROS. Nature synthesizes these ROS omnipresent in different environmental compartments via varied mechanisms; for example, in the upper troposphere, •OH radicals can be produced by the photolysis of gaseous ozone (Figure 3b).14 Materials can also guide ROS generation via various catalytic reactions, to favor the transitions of exogenous energy to the endogenous chemical energy of ROS. Year 1972 marked the booming growth of photocatalytic chemistry when Fujishima and Honda reported that semiconducting TiO2 could serve as a photocatalyst for water-splitting,15 and the involved •OH

properties of ROS, as well as the nanobio interactions of ROSrelated nanomaterials, we can design and fabricate newgeneration nanosystems with unique ROS generation/depletion features to exert therapeutic effects, finally to meet the ever-stringent demands of clinical applications (Figure 2). ROS science provides a general guideline to study the principles of ROS-related chemical and biological processes and inspires novel strategies to tailor advanced nanomedicines. To provide a more comprehensive picture of the new paradigm of “ROS science”, we will further discuss its three subdisciplines: ROS chemistry, ROS biology, and ROS nanotechnology, in the following sections of this review. 1.1.1. ROS Chemistry. Over a century’s collective efforts of chemists have pushed forward the sustained development of ROS chemistry to uncover the unique chemical characteristics of these chemical species (Figure 3a).

Figure 2. ROS-based nanomedicine for various applications. The abundant material chemistry endows nanomedicines with unique ROS generation/ depletion properties for the treatment of various pathological disfunctions (such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, bacterial infection, etc.). Analytical technologies have also been developed to evaluate the ROS-regulating efficiency of these therapeutic platforms.

ROS radicals can be ranked based on the one-electron reduction potential because the activation energy is rather low.22 Such a physicochemical parameter can also provide feasible tools to predict the orientation of ROS-related reactions. For example, in pH = 7 environment, E0 (O2•−, 2H+/H2O2) > E0 (H2O2, H+/•OH);22 thus, the reduction of O2•− to H2O2 is more favorable than the reduction of H2O2 to • OH.3 Comparatively, for two-electron nonradical ROS, although reduction potentials also determine their oxidative strengths, kinetic factors are actually more dominant in determining their reactivity. Higher activation energy corresponds to lower reaction rate.22 Reactivity of ROS determines their reaction specificity in a biological environment. Once ROS are generated at a given location, they can mediate a diverse array of redox modifications on biomolecules in a temporal and sequencespecific manner (Figure 3d).21,23 •OH and 1O2 present indiscriminate reactivities due to their strong oxidizing properties, whereas either O2•− or H2O2 has its preferred biological targets.2 Such a preference can be well-exemplified by two early observations on Escherichia coli (E. coli) for ROS discrimination. The first example indicates the specific reactivity of O2•− with iron−sulfur clusters ([Fe−S] clusters),2,24 which favors the release of H2O2 and Fe2+ responsible for O2•− mediated toxicity, such as highly active •OH generation by Fenton chemistry.25 The other paradigm provides us with a mechanistic demonstration on the high reactivity of H2O2 with cysteine (Cys) residues, which is the fundamental chemical mechanism for cellular signaling.26 It is noteworthy that the biochemistry of 1O2 has been less investigated because it is commonly generated via exogenous photochemical reactions rather than endogenous biological reactions. The above discussion on the reaction characteristics of ROS is based on the assumption that these reactions take place in a

generating processes have been gradually recognized and elucidated in the next four decades (Figure 3c).16 The exploration of highly efficient ROS-generating catalysts not only benefits the relevant industrial sectors but also favors many medical applications for disease treatment.17 Further discussions on the mechanisms of material-assisted ROSgeneration will be provided in the following sections. Another key ROS source is biological systems. Cells can produce ROS at different subcellular locations, of which a major one is mitochondria. Electrons escaped from the mitochondrial respiratory chain can react with O2 molecules to generate O2•− (primary ROS), which can be further converted to H2O2, •OH, ClO−, etc. (secondary ROS) via various catalytic reactions.18 In some cancer cells, ROS can be produced by the activation of seven isoforms of NADPH oxidase (NOX) complexes located in cytomembranes.19,20 Flavoenzyme ERO1 in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) was also demonstrated to utilize O2 as a twoelectron acceptor to generate one equivalent of H2O2, providing a strong ROS flux in this subcellular region.21 Moreover, xanthine oxidase (XO), lipoxygenases, cyclooxygenases, and metal ions (such as Fe2+ and Cu2+) can also participate in catalytic ROS generation.9 High reactivity is the most prominent feature of ROS. These chemical species exist far from the equilibrium state in solvent environment, and various ROS-involved reactions such as oxidation, reduction, or dismutation may take place. Based on the reaction mechanisms, ROS can be further divided into oneelectron (radical species, such as O2•− and •OH) and twoelectron (nonradical species, such as H2O2) oxidants, and their oxidative activities are different from each other. It is essential to identify and differentiate the oxidative strength of individual ROS for a better understanding of the reaction mechanisms, i.e., which type of oxidant will be involved in a particular reaction process. The oxidizing capabilities of one-electron D

1.1.2. ROS Biology. Warburg’s 1908 observation is the first milestone of ROS biology, which revealed the increased oxygen consumption in sea urchin eggs after fertilization (H2O2producing respiratory burst).27 Currently, there is an increasing number of areas in ROS biology where discrete biochemical and cellular investigations are complementary with each other, providing systematic explanations on the physiological roles of ROS.9 ROS can serve as intracellular signaling molecules, a function that has been extensively documented but remains controversial.2 •OH and 1O2 have relatively short diffusion distances and can only exist in compartmentalized spaces. Therefore, they are not capable of functioning in cellular redox signaling pathways. In addition, the instability of O2•− and its inability to diffuse across membranes also make this type of ROS a poor signaling molecule.2 Comparatively, the mild reactivity, high specificity, strong diffusibility, and membrane permeability of H2O2 molecules make them competent to serve as a critical messenger for intercellular crosstalk. Cys residues are the most frequent target for H2O2-mediated signaling pathways, which participate in the regulation of numerous physiological activities (Figure 4).

homogeneous solution and are not affected by steric hindrance. In fact, all organismal subunits at diverse stratifications (e.g., cells, tissues, organs, and the whole organism) are heterogeneous systems with temporospatially dynamic architectures. Due to the transient and reactive nature of ROS, these redox reactions proceed in a site-localized manner. Almost all ROS travel within a relative shorter range compared to the diameter of the cell, except H2O2 (around 1.5 mm).22 Therefore, the compartmentalization of ROS should be taken into consideration when we investigate the ROS-involved reactions in biological milieu. Some redox reactions, although theoretically possible, will not be physiologically relevant because of temporospatial limitations.22 The reactivity, specificity, and diffusibility are three key reaction characteristics of ROS chemistry collectively determining the biochemical behaviors of these active species in a physiological environment. Recent advances in ROS chemistry benefit researchers to acquire an ever-clear understanding on the complicated and mysterious chemical processes, providing advanced tools to further explore ROS biology, such as oxidative stress and consequent pathology.

(e.g., oncogenes activation, aberrant metabolism, and functional p53 loss), and extrinsic biological factors in tumor environment (e.g., hypoxia and nutrients imbalance), facilitate excessive ROS production and affect cellular redox homeostasis.56 In reverse, compelling evidence also suggests that the elevation of ROS levels in cancer cells also favors the acquisition of the hallmarks of cancer. At moderate redox status, ROS contribute to the tumorigenesis by participating in pro-oncogenic signaling pathways or promoting genomic DNA mutation.56 For example, ROS can activate redox-sensitive transcription factors to regulate the expression of specific proteins that are involved in proliferation, immortalization, and metastasis, favoring the survival of cancer cells.57,58 Moreover, it has also been proved that, in cancer cells, mitochondrial ROS is able to amplify the tumorigenic phenotype and accelerate the accumulation of additional mutations, and thus to facilitate cancer cell metastasis.59 Although recent advances in ROS biology have enabled researchers to gradually uncover the mechanisms of ROSrelated physiology and pathology, however, further in-depth elucidations on the cellular location, signaling pathways, and regulatory targets of ROS are still greatly necessary to acquire a more comprehensive conceptual picture on the interplay between ROS signaling and ROS homeostasis. 1.1.3. ROS Nanotechnology. Nanotechnology stimulates the next wave of technological innovations in ROS science, which has promoted the emergence of numerous multifunctional nanomaterials with unique ROS generation, transition, or depletion functions. Based on the ROS-regulating chemistry of these nanomaterials, as well as the intrinsic biology of asregulated ROS, nanomaterial-based redox-regulation therapeutic strategies come into being: these materials can act as exogenous interventions to participate in the modulation of cellular redox status, and thus to exert therapeutic effects on various ROS-related pathological abnormities, further facilitating the development of ROS-based nanotherapeutic modalities. ROS nanotechnology is based on the intrinsic biophysical features (e.g., thermodynamics, 2D surface topography, and 3D stereoscopic geometry) and biochemical characteristics (e.g., interfacial reactivity and enzymatic interaction) of nanomaterials, which guides the dynamic evolution of ROS in specific time periods and at specific biological locations, thus bridging ROS chemistry, ROS biology, and downstream material chemistry of ROS-based nanomedicine. ROS nanotechnology concentrates on the ROS-related nanochem interface (ROS generation, ROS transition, and ROS scavenging) for enhanced reaction efficiencies and ROS-related nanobio interactions (bioavailability, biodegradability, and biocompatibility) for better therapeutic outcomes, contributing to the gradual establishment of a new subdiscipline of ROS science. Synthetic chemists extract bulk materials from nature and create novel nanomaterials via dimension transition from bulk to micro to nano (top-down), or from atom to molecule to nano (bottom-up). Such a size-evolution facilitates the fabrication of nanomaterials with diversified microcosmic architectures, i.e., 0D nanoparticles, 1D nanowires, 2D nanosheets, and 3D nanoformulations. Here, synthetic chemists are the architect, while nanomaterials are their crafts. Nevertheless, why do we focus on nano rather than micro or other dimensions for the design of ROS-based therapeutic medicines? The answers are the size effect and surface area/ volume differences.

evidenced that NOX-derived H2O2 could mediate Slingshot-1L activation to modulate cytoskeleton organization, thus regulating cell migration.30 Moreover, Niethammer et al. also discovered that in wounded zebrafish larvae, endothelial cells near injured tissue could activate the dual oxidase to create a tissue-scale gradient of H2O2, facilitating the recruitment of leukocytes to the wound.31 In addition to cell biology, the other fascinating research area is circadian rhythm. Red blood cells (RBCs) have been demonstrated to undergo 24-h redox cycles of peroxiredoxin proteins between their reduced and oxidized forms, and such redox cycles can persist for many days.32 Although its molecular basis has not been fully identified, the correlation between the fluctuations in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and NADPH reveals the role of ROS in regulating circadian rhythm.21 ROS is a double-edged sword. Although a moderate concentration of ROS can act as second messenger for physiological regulation, however, excessive ROS may overwhelm the antioxidant capacity of cell and trigger cell death.10 Cellular redox homeostasis is ensured by maintaining the balance between ROS generation and elimination (Figure 5). Endogenous biological ROS generators include NOXs,19,20 hypoxia,33−35 metabolic defects,36 ER stress,37 lipoxygenases,9 cyclooxygenases,9 cytochrome (Cyt) P450 enzymes,38 and redox-cycling metals (e.g., Fe2+ and Cu2+),21 while intracellular antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD),22 catalase (CAT),38 nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2),39 glutathione (GSH),40 NADPH,41 and many dietary antioxidant compounds (e.g., vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, etc.)42 can scavenge these generated ROS for maintaining cellular redox homeostasis. Ensuring the redox homeostasis is of great significance in maintaining the regular physiological functions and reducing the incidence of diseases. If the unbalanced redox status becomes beyond the cellular tolerability thresholds, many pathological dysfunctions will occur, such as aging and tumorigenesis. Mounting evidence indicated that, oxidative stress is a key factor in leading to the aging of biological entities.43−46 At the cellular level, an early observation has demonstrated that the increased cellular ROS concentration could induce a senescence-like state in human diploid fibroblasts.47 At the whole organismal scale, cardiovascular,48 ophthalmological,49 and neurological50 researches have demonstrated the strong correlations between ROS disequilibrium and senescence, which has gradually uncovered the pathogenesis of various senescence-induced pathological abnormalities, such as atherosclerosis,51 cataracts,49 and neurodegenerative diseases.11,52 The incidences of these diseases increase exponentially with age, which has drawn broad attention worldwide. Comparatively, moderately excessive levels of ROS within the threshold of cellular redox homeostasis may oppositely extend the lifespan of living species. It has been recently demonstrated that the exposure to low-dose oxidants will increase the lifetime of drosophila.53 Many types of cancer cells are characteristic of increased aerobic glycolysis (termed as the “Warburg effect”) and elevated ROS levels.10,54 The relevance between ROS and carcinogenesis was first demonstrated in 1981, when insulin was identified to promote intracellular H2O2 production and facilitate tumor cell proliferation.55 However, until now, the causal relationship between the elevated ROS levels and tumorigenesis has remained controversial. It is now widely accepted that the intrinsic biochemical factors in cancer cells G

From the perspective of nanochem interface, recent advances in nanosynthetic chemistry and nanocatalytic chemistry have provided feasible tools to regulate the reaction characteristics of ROS-based nanomedicines, by (1) precise modulation of their topographic features with increased number of active sites localized on the surface and (2) integration of them with exogenous functional materials to enhance the activities, selectivities, and versatilities of these nanoparticles in biological systems. Synthetic chemists use their creativities to tailor ROSbased nanomedicines with enhanced ROS-generating/scavenging efficiencies, thus to modulate the reaction processes and benefit the downstream therapeutic outcomes. For example, heterogeneous nanocomposite catalysts with synergetic catalytic ROS-generating effects can be applied for cancer therapeutics by in situ generation of ROS through enzymatic reactions.17,61−63 From the standpoint of nanobio interactions, we are supposed to have a more comprehensive insight into the systematic biological effects of nanomedicines. The large surface area of nanomaterials leads to the strong adsorption of various biomolecules (e.g., phospholipid, protein and DNA) in biological systems to reduce their excessive surface energy.64 The nanoparticle−biomacromolecule interactions can further influence downstream nanoparticle−cell interplays, such as

When the sizes of materials are decreased to nanoscale, they will display abundant unique characteristics that are not owned by their bulk counterparts. For example, crystallographic alterations (e.g., lattice deformation, atoms rearrangements, or morphological changes) often occur on the surface of inorganic nanoparticles below 20−30 nm in size,60 which can further regulate the interfacial reaction kinetics mediated on the surface of nanoparticles (such as the kinetics of ROS generation/ depletion).60 Moreover, the large specific surface areas of nanomaterials provide abundant anchoring points for ambient reactive molecules, further improving their chemical reactivities, while the small volumes of nanomaterials facilitate the tissue penetration, cellular uptake, and intracellular transport of these nanosystems. Therefore, the integration of extrinsic properties (topographical and geometrical features, such as small particle size, small volume, and large specific surface area) and intrinsic characteristics (dimension transition-enabled transformation in physical and chemical features) endow nanodimensional materials with superior ROS-regulating performances and in vivo behaviors for numerous therapeutic applications. Here, “ROS-based nanomedicine” is proposed as the definition of these ROS-regulating nanomaterials, which is not only the kernel of ROS nanotechnology but also the evolving research field in ROS science.

nanoparticles-mediated cellular substructural alterations and biochemical perturbations.64,65 Therefore, when conceiving ROS-based nanomedicines, we are obliged to consider the systematic nanobio interactions for the optimization of therapeutic outcomes.

dynamically changing biological environment? Why are some of the ROS-related therapeutic modalities counterproductive to reach their therapeutic expectations? Can we guarantee the bioavailability, biodegradability, and biocompatibility of asprepared nanomedicines after administration? These scientific issues are driving researchers to perform more detailed while comprehensive investigations on these nanomedicines, thus benefiting future advances in biomedical applications.

The above discussions on nanobio interactions are based on their physiological effect. In the pathological region, the unique nanobio interactions may also significantly enhance the therapeutic outcomes of ROS-based nanomedicines. For example, researchers indicated that normalization of tumor blood vessels with large heterogeneous pores would favor the delivery of nanomedicines in a size-dependent manner [i.e., enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect].67 Using a mathematical model, they further confirmed that steric and hydrodynamic hindrances make the large nanoparticles more difficult to enter tumors. Therefore, for cancer therapeutics, the first criterion in the design of ROS-based nanomedicines is small-enough volume for favoring their transport within the vascular system, accumulation into tumor issue, and excretion out of the body.68−70 ROS nanotechnology integrates the chemical and biological principles at nano levels, for the construction of nanomedicines with enhanced ROS-regulating efficiency and improved therapeutic outcomes. As an emerging subdiscipline, ROS nanotechnology provides feasible redox-regulation strategies for disease treatment, pushing forward the further advances of therapeutic modalities.

1.3. Scope of This Review

ROS science progresses fast. However, no effort has been made on a comprehensive overview of this highly attractive and important research field. Considering that significant progresses have been made in the past two decades, and current research in this field, especially in ROS-based nanomedicine, is still under intensive investigation, in this review, we will, for the first time, discuss the fundamental chemical principles of various ROS-based therapeutic platforms systematically and comprehensively. First, the unique material chemistry of ROS-based nanomedicines will be discussed to elucidate the ROS-regulating mechanisms of several representative nanomaterials. Second, recent progresses on ROS-based cancer nanotherapies will be summarized in detail, ranging from PDT, SDT, RT, CDT, and CDR, to synergistic cancer therapy. Third, recent advances in ROS-related nanotherapy for other pathological abnormalities, such as brain diseases, inflammatory disease, cardiovascular disease, and bacterial infection, will also be included in this review. Finally, key scientific issues encountered in the evolution of ROS science will be discussed in depth, and perspectives indicating future directions of ROS-based nanomedicines will also be provided. It is highly expected that the clearer elucidation of this field will help us to unlock the innate powers of ROS for contributing to the health of human beings.

1.2. Status Quo of ROS Science in Nanomedicine

Just as Whitesides’s statement on the 150th anniversary of BASF, “the end of one era and the beginning of another”,71 ROS science also enters into a new era during a century’s leapforward development (Figure 7), shifting from initial discrete researches on ROS-related fundamental chemical mechanisms and biological principles (i.e., ROS chemistry and biology), to the subsequent systematic scientific endeavors investigating the chemical and biological characteristics of ROS-related nanomaterials for rational therapeutic approaches (ROS nanotechnology). The development of ROS science can be divided into two stages: (1) The first stage is from the 1890s to the 1990s. During one century’s investigation and exploration, researchers have gradually uncovered the veil of ROS based on the related chemical and biological phenomena.72−77 Moreover, ROSrelated therapeutic modalities, such as PDT and sonodynamic therapy (SDT), have been developed preliminarily.78−81 (2) The second stage is in the last 20 years. The emergence of redox-active nanomaterials has provided advanced ROSregulating approaches for favoring numerous therapeutic applications, thus contributing to the second development of ROS science. This stage stems from the advent of nanozymes, when specific nanomaterials with intrinsic enzyme-mimicking catalytic performance, such as CeO2 and Fe3O4 nanoparticles, were applied for biosensing or therapeutic applications.82−85 Along with the development of nanosynthetic chemistry, numerous ROS-based nanoplatforms have been fabricated subsequently to guide ROS generation, depletion, and transition in vivo.86−88 For example, in cancer therapeutics, these nanomedicines have greatly augmented the outcomes of related therapeutic modalities, such as PDT,89−91 SDT,92−94 radiotherapy (RT),95 chemodynamic therapy (CDT),62 controlled drug release (CDR),96,97 and synergistic cancer therapy.98 However, although considerable achievements have been made in ROS-based nanomedicine, our current understanding on the relationships between their therapeutic functions and the underlying chemistry/biology remains preliminary. How do these nanomedicines guide the evolution of ROS in the

2. MATERIAL CHEMISTRY OF ROS-BASED NANOPLATFORMS The material chemistry of ROS-based nanomedicines determines their in vivo chemical characteristics and biological behaviors. In this section, we will highlight the representative redox-active materials, such as photosensitizers (PSs),99 sonosensitizers,100 and nanozymes,101 with a concise elucidation on their unique chemistries that actuate in vivo ROS generation/depletion for therapeutic intervention. Moreover, to investigate the ROS-regulating efficacies of these emerging therapeutic platforms, current analytical techniques for ROS evaluation have also been discussed in this section, for helping readers gain a better understanding of the material (nanomedicine)−chemistry (ROS) interactions. 2.1. ROS-Generating Nanoplatforms

The generation of excessive ROS in pathological sites has been employed as a general therapeutic approach for numbers of pathological abnormalities, such as cancer56 and bacterial infection.102 This strategy stimulates the emergence of numerous ROS-generating platforms to upregulate the intracellular redox status under the assistance of exogenous/ endogenous interventions, such as light, ultrasound (US), and chemical species. For example, PSs-loaded nanosystems, such as protoporphyrin (PpIX),103−105 ZnPc,106 or TiO2107-loaded nanoplatforms can respond to exogenous light irradiations to enable remote-controlled photocatalytic ROS generation for PDT; sonosensitizers-delivered nanosystems, such as PpIX,108 rose bengal,109,110 TiO2,111,112 or black phosphorus (BP)113J

activities of fullerene derivatives has been considered as the milestone in the development of nanozyme.82,122,123 A mechanistic study in 2004 proposed that electron-deficient regions on the C60 sphere could work in concert with malonyl groups to electrostatically stabilize O2•−, thus promoting its dismutation.124 The unique ROS-detoxifying capabilities of fullerene derivatives have been extensively applied for various antioxidative applications, such as neuroprotection and antiaging.122 The next wave of ROS-scavenging nanozymes is the exploration of CeO2, which has become the most prevalent inorganic nanomedicine for current antioxidative treatment (Figure 9a).125−131 Due to the mixed valence states of cerium (Ce3+ and Ce4+) and the presence of compensating oxygen vacancies,132−135 they are chemically active and can scavenge O2•− and H2O2 efficiently by reversibly binding oxygen atoms and shifting between Ce3+ (reduced) and Ce4+ (oxidized) forms,136−138 presenting SOD- and CAT-mimetic activities, which underpins their vital role in numerous antioxidative therapeutics, such as radiation protection139,140 and retinal degeneration prevention.141,142 Other inorganic nanomaterials such as Prussian blue (PB) (Figure 9b),143 Pt,144 and NiO145 have also been evidenced with ROS-scavenging activities, benefiting the design of next-generation ROS-scavenging nanomedicines by taking advantage of their intrinsic catalytic properties.

deliveried nanoplatforms can be activated by US to enable efficient sonocatalytic ROS generation for SDT; a number of inorganic nanozymes with peroxidase-like activities, such as Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Figure 8),85 FeS nanoparticles,114,115 CuS nanoparticles116,117 and V2O5 nanowires,118 can convert endogenous biological H2O2 into highly cytotoxic •OH for CDT or antibacterial treatment. These chemical reactions are accompanied by the transition of energy. PSs, sonosensitizers, and nanozymes are capable of extracting exogenous optical, mechanical, and chemical energy, respectively, and transfer them into the internal chemical energy of ROS based on their unique physicochemical properties. The large family of ROS-generating nanoplatforms with intrinsic chemistries plays a significant role in the development of redox-upregulating-related therapeutic applications, such as antineoplastic therapy and antibacterial therapy. In the following sections, we will present systematic elucidations on the interdependent relationships between these designed ROS-generating nanosystems and their underlying therapeutic mechanisms. 2.2. ROS-Scavenging Nanoplatforms

The development of enzymology has favored the generation of a variety of ROS-scavenging materials with enzyme-mimicking functions, such as SOD/CAT-like activities, to downregulate aberrant ROS status to levels that are compatible with cellular biological functions.119−121 The discovery of SOD-mimicking K

determination of ROS.17,158 To further investigate the cellular concentration/distribution of ROS, a fluorescent probe such as 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) has also been applied, which can transform into 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein (DCF) after interacting with cellular ROS for detection. It is noted that, although these biochemical assays provide useful tools for visualizing the quantitative changes of ROS, however, they suffer from nonspecificity and may be intervened by other types of ROS in the reaction systems.

2.3. Related Analytical Techniques

Accurate characterizations of ROS produced or scavenged by these redox-active nanomaterials are beneficial for evaluating their in vivo therapeutic performances. Among various developed ROS-detecting techniques, electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy is the most prominent one, which is based on the absorption of electromagnetic radiation by a paramagnetic sample in a magnetic field.146−148 To assist ROS detection, a spin trapping method was also developed.149 These as-added trapping agents, such as 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-Noxide (DMPO), 5-tert-butoxycarbonyl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline Noxide (BMPO), and 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane (MNP), can react with ROS and give rise to radical adducts that can be subsequently identified (Figure 10a).150,151 For current researches focusing on ROS-related nanotherapeutics, ESR measurement and spin trapping strategies are indispensable for the detections of cytotoxic 1O2 and •OH generated by prepared nanomedicines. However, due to the short lifetimes of radical adducts, ESR spectroscopy may not be competent enough to reflect the realtime quantitative dynamics of ROS.152,153 Biochemical assays, such as fluorescent, luminescent, and colorimetric probes, have been extensively developed for the kinetic evaluation of ROSinvolved reactions (Figure 10b).154,155 For example, singlet oxygen sensor green (SOSG) has been explored as a feasible fluorescent sensor for 1O2 detection;156,157 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl-benzidine (TMB) coloration assays and methylene blue (MB) decolorization assays are also applicable for colorimetric

3. ROS-BASED CANCER NANOTHERAPY The elevated ROS level is the hallmark of cancer cells that correlates with the aggressiveness of neoplasms (Figure 11). However, this phenomenon leads to a biological discrepancy between the factual carcinogenic potential of ROS and our general notion that an excessive amount of ROS may lead to random oxidative damage of cells. Why can cancer cells maintain high ROS levels while retaining their high reproductive capacity for carcinogenesis? In cancer cells, the increment of ROS can activate equally potent, endogenous cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms, leading to the upregulation of antioxidants and the shift of redox dynamics from the regular redox homeostasis to a new steady equilibrium state with both high ROS generation and elimination rates, thus maintaining the total ROS levels below the toxic threshold.10 These endogenous redox-adaptive mechanisms, such as activation of redox-sensitive transcription factors (e.g., κB and Nrf2), expression of ROS-scavenging L

each cancer therapeutic modality by concentrating on the representative ROS-based nanoplatforms, and finally we present the recent advances in the promotion of these cancer therapeutics. 3.1. Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)

PDT is the first redox-regulating therapeutic modality developed in ROS science, which can date back to the Raab’s demonstration on light-triggered cytotoxicity in 1900.78 As a typical noninvasive therapeutic modality, PDT has been approved in the clinic for the treatment of lung cancer, skin cancer, esophageal cancer, etc.159 It consists of three basic components: PS, light, and tissue oxygen. The exogenous visible light activates nontoxic PS to transfer its excited-state energy to ambient oxygen for ROS generation, which can lead to the apoptosis and/or necrosis of malignant cells, as well as the stimulation of the host immune system (Figure 12).160,161 Figure 11. ROS regulation and tumorigenesis at different stages. Cells undergo a progressive increase in ROS levels during the transformation from normal status to invasive carcinomatous condition (solid arrows). However, these cancer cells can escape oxidative damage by reinforcing their intrinsic antioxidant defenses that will lower ROS levels (dashed arrows). Therefore, it is here proposed that we could force the accumulation of excessive ROS in tumor that overwhelms the antioxidant systems to induce cell death for anticancer therapy (solid red arrows).

molecules (e.g., SOD and GSH), or alterations of genes via varied mechanisms (e.g., genetic or epigenetic pathways), can counteract the potential toxic effects of excessive ROS, thus allowing cancer cells to escape oxidative damage and survive under high redox stress.10 As a consequence, cancer cells would be more dependent on the endogenous antioxidant system to maintain the newly formed redox homeostasis and more vulnerable to further intensified oxidative stress by exogenous ROS-generating agents. Thus, the abrogation of this adapted endogenous redox equilibrium state, if possible, by exogenous interventions, for example, ROS-generating nanomaterials, which result in much elevated ROS levels beyond the cellular tolerability threshold as antioxidant systems become overwhelmed, could be an attractive but feasible strategy to preferentially devastate cancer cells and may therefore have significant therapeutic implications. This strategy, which is based on the cancer redox biology, provides a material-guided, ROS-mediated therapeutic approach to disrupt the self-adaptation mechanisms of cancer cells and thus exert a therapeutic effect. In the consideration of the maneuverability of the nanomedicine-involved therapeutic process, this strategy can be highly competent for antineoplastic therapy. On the other hand, the intrinsic redox-elevating feature of cancer cells also leads us to consider another feasible, or complementary approach for cancer treatment. These excessive ROS in cancer cells can act as “biochemical engine” to activate ROS-responsive nanomedicines for on-demand drug release. Therefore, adding to the aforementioned strategy, ROSresponsive performances of materials can also be taken into consideration for improving therapeutic effects. Stepping from ROS biology to ROS pathology and to ROS oncology, the development of ROS-relevant researches has favored the emergence of several redox-related therapeutic modalities, such as PDT, SDT, RT, CDT, and CDR. In this section, we will demonstrate the physicochemical principles of

The excitation of PSs leads to the overproduction of intracellular ROS that initiate the apoptosis or necrosis of cancer cells, accompanied by the activation of biological cascades such as the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and the recruitment of immunocytes.

Based on the reaction mechanisms, PDT can be further categorized into two subtypes: type I and type II. Under light irradiation, PSs transform from their ground singlet state to the excited triplet state and then participate in two reaction pathways:162 in type I PDT, PSs react with biological substrate to generate radical intermediates, which can react with ambient triplet oxygen (3O2) and H2O to generate O2•− and •OH subsequently; in the type II PDT, PSs can transfer their energy to surrounding 3O2 directly for the generation of cytotoxic 1O2. Therefore, type I PDT could be an oxygen-independent process, while type II PDT can take place only in welloxygenated environments. 3.1.1. Nanomedicine-Facilitated Photoactivation. Generally, an ideal PS in PDT is supposed to be characterized by high quantum yield, maximum light absorption, and negligible dark toxicity.162 Based on their composition, PSs can be classified as organic and inorganic ones. The past several decades have witnessed the three-stage developments of organic PSs, from the first-generation PSs (porphyrin derivatives) with primitive photosensitizing property, to the second-generation PSs [e.g., chlorin e6 (Ce6), phthalocyanines, M

etc.] with improved tumor selectivity, and to the thirdgeneration PSs (nanocarriers-augmented composite PSs) with improved tumor accumulation.163−165 However, most organic PSs still suffer from photoinduced or enzymatic degradation, making them counterproductive for achieving the expected therapeutic outcomes. Comparatively, inorganic nanomaterials with intrinsic chemical stability, have attracted extensive attention recently for fabricating next-generation PSs. The photosensitivities of inorganic semiconducting nanomaterials are based on their unique energy band structures, which confer them with lighttriggered ROS-generating capabilities for subsequent therapeutic applications. However, unlike most organic PSs involved in type II PDT, many inorganic PSs can participate in type I PDT processes.162 The application of inorganic nanomaterials in PDT can be traced back to 2009, when Rozhkova et al. first reported that TiO2 nanoparticles could initiate programmed glioblastoma cell death as a consequence of phototoxicity.166 Mechanistic studies further revealed that, under UV light irradiation, electrons in the valence band of TiO2 can be excited and then shift to the conduction band, resulting in the formation of electron−hole pairs, which can further interact with surrounding O2 and H2O to generate ROS.167 Such a discovery has also facilitated the application of other inorganic semiconducting nanomaterials in PDT, such as Si nanoparticles,168,169 SnWO4 nanoparticles,170,171 CdSe quantum dots,172,173 graphene quantum dots,174−177 BP nanosheets,178 bismuth oxyhalide nanosheets, 179 etc. These emerging inorganic PSs with different physicochemical features display varied characteristics in PDT. For example, β-SnWO4 nanoparticles can present acute phototoxicity under blue-light LED illumination rather than UV irradiation;170 graphene

3.1.2. Deep PDT by Different Excitation Sources

In conventional PDT, PSs are usually excited by shortwavelength UV−vis light (spectral range in 400−700 nm), which features poor tissue penetration.162 Fortunately, nanotechnology has provided feasible strategies to overcome such a limitation, facilitating the development of “deep PDT”. Based on the unique physicochemical properties of some inorganic materials, such as photoconverting nanoparticles that can convert exogenous near-infrared light (NIR) or X-ray into UV− vis light, or self-illuminating materials that can emit endogenous light within tumor tissues, PSs can be indirectly activated via Förster (fluorescence) resonance energy transfer (FRET) from these functional inorganic materials to PSs for initiating ROS generation within deep-seated tumors. NIR light (spectral range in 700−1100 nm) lies in the “optical transparency window” of biological tissues, which promises deeper tissue penetration and less energy attenuation than visible light. Typically, NIR-trigged deep PDT is based on upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) to convert NIR into UV−vis light, and thus to activate as-coupled organic/inorganic PSs via FRET. Year 2012 marked the development of UCNPbased composite nanosystems for deep PDT when Idris et al. first fabricated silica-coated UCNPs coloaded with ZnPc and MC540 as remote-controlled, NIR-excited PDT platforms.106 Inspired by this pioneering work, we have constructed silicacoated UCNPs codelivered with photosensitive silicon phthalocyanine dihydroxide (SPCD) and bioreductive proN

PDT.184 The ever-increasing number of literatures in this field have further evidenced the effectiveness of such an advanced optical technology in PDT.185,186 Besides NIR light, X-ray is also an important physical excitation source for deep PDT. The photon energy of clinical X-ray is in the range of several kiloelectronvolt (keV) to several megaelectronvolt (MeV), making it free from the tissue penetration limitation.187−190 However, X-ray cannot effectively activate most traditional organic/inorganic PSs because of the apparent energy mismatch between the photon energy of X-ray (keV-MeV) and the singlet−triplet energy gap of PS (1−3 eV).162 Fortunately, some nanomaterials with unique optical properties have been fabricated to harvest X-ray to indirectly excite PSs, such as scintillating nanoparticles (SCNPs) and persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs). SCNPs can serve as energy mediators to convert X-ray radiation into UV−vis light through a typical scintillation process.191 Under X-ray radiation, electron−hole pairs are generated, and the energy can be transferred to the luminescent ions of SCNPs. After these excited ions return to their ground state, the UV−vis luminescence is emitted, which can be utilized for PS excitation. A representative study by Chen et al. presented a composite nanosystem for SCNP-mediated deep PDT, by coating highly hydrolytic SrAl2O4:Eu2+ (denoted as SAO) nanoparticles with silica layers followed by MC540 loading (Figure 15a).192 The inner SAO core is capable of converting X-ray photons to visible photons, and thus activates as-delivered MC540 to initiate 1O2 generation. In an alternative work, Tang et al. fabricated mesoporous LaF3:Tb SCNPs as Xray energy transducers and PS carriers for deep PDT.193 Moreover, Lan et al. also fabricated 2D metal−organic layers (MOLs) as an X-ray scintillator for enhanced PDT with deepened tissue penetration.194 Heavy Hf atoms in the [Hf6O4(OH)4(HCO2)6] secondary building units (SBUs) can efficiently absorb X-rays and transfer optical energy to integrated Ir[bpy(ppy)2]+ or [Ru(bpy)3]2+ moieties for favoring ROS generation. Moreover, the 2D structure of MOLs allows these ROS to diffuse freely,195 further improving PDT outcome. PLNPs are also promising light conversion agents to be applied in X-ray-activated PDT, which can store energy during excitation and then slowly emit afterglow phosphorescence.162 Importantly, they can act as the second light source in tumor to continue exciting the coupled PS after the removal of X-ray irradiation, and thus to overcome the depth barrier of tissue penetration. Ma et al. first reported X-ray excited ZnS:Cu,Co afterglow nanoparticles for PDT in 2014.196 Song et al. also fabricated W(VI)-doped PLNPs for deep and repeatable PDT under the activation of low-dose X-ray (Figure 15b).197 In addition, Fan et al. also reported the construction of injectable and periodically rechargeable persistent luminescence implants by dissolving ZnGa1.996O4:Cr0.004 PLNPs in poly(lactic-coglycolic acid) (PLGA)/N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) oleosol for localized cancer therapy,198 which presented prolonged luminescence lifetime for improved PDT outcome. However, energy attenuation is inevitable when NIR or X-ray permeate through normal tissues, which results in lowered ROS-generating efficiency. Self-luminating materials, which can emit light without the assistance of exogenous irradiations, have also been developed for PS activation within tumors, thus to completely break the depth dependency of PDT. For instance, radionuclides, such as radiolabeled 2′-deoxy-2′-(18F)fluoro-Dglucose (FDG), can serve as an ideal intratumoral light source

drug tirapazamine (TPZ) for simultaneous NIR-activated deep PDT and hypoxia-specific chemotherapy.180 Given that these as-delivered organic PSs are not stable enough in biological environment, a number of inorganic PSs have also been integrated with UCNPs to construct composite nanoplatforms for NIR-mediated deep PDT.181 For example, Lin et al. have first constructed UCNP@TiO2 composite nanosystems in 2015 (Figure 14).182 In this work, TiO2

nanoparticles were directly decorated on the surface of UCNPs and then irradiated by 980 nm laser. It has been further evidenced that this NIR-mediated PDT process could induce cancer cell death via a mitochondria-involved apoptosis pathway. The expression of caspase 3 in tumor tissue would be upregulated following PDT, leading to the apoptosis of cancer cells, and thus presenting a complementary therapeutic effect. In an alternative work, a TiO2 layer was created on the surface of mesoporous silica-coated UCNPs for higher PS loading efficiency.183 Importantly, it is further demonstrated that the application of 808 nm laser in PDT can mitigate the photodamage of tissues irradiated by a 980 nm laser, which is instructive for future PS design. The aforementioned therapeutic paradigms are based on the NIR one-photon excitation. As a typical nonlinear optical phenomenon, NIR two-photon excitation, which is initiated by short-pulsed (∼100 fs) lasers, has also been developed to directly activate PSs with two-photon absorption (TPA) for deep PDT. It offers precise 3D manipulation of therapeutic regions, featuring enhanced spatial selectivity compared with conventional NIR one-photon excitation.162 In the past few years, numerous TPA PSs have been explored to improve the therapeutic efficacies of PDT. For example, fluorogens with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics have been designed to serve as effective TPA PSs for efficient and precise O

for Cerenkov radiation (CR)-mediated deep PDT because of their high positron (β+) emission decay.199,200 A prominent work by Kotagiri et al. presented that the simultaneous administration of TiO2-Tf nanoparticles and radionuclide 64 Cu (a β particle emitter) in tumor-bearing mice would lead to the complete tumor regression (Figure 16).201 Such a therapeutic effect is based on CR generated by radionuclide 64 Cu, which can activate coupled TiO2 nanoparticles to facilitate electron−hole pair formation for ROS generation. This work offers a new way to harness self-luminating radionuclides and low-radiance-sensitive TiO2 photocatalysts to achieve depth-independent deep PDT, benefiting future works to improve the therapeutic efficiency of cancer. 3.1.3. Recent Advanced Strategies to Augment PDT. Although considerable achievements have been made in this field of PDT, however, their therapeutic efficacies are still not satisfactory enough to fully meet the ever-stringent requirements of clinical translation. Recent advances in ROS science and material chemistry have provided new design rationales of ROS-based nanoplatforms for improved PDT efficacy, which can be categorized into the following three methodologies: (1) ROS amplification: investigating the interactions between materials and chemical species (such as ROS) to further elevate ROS-generating performance; (2) Tumor microenvironment (TME) response: exploring the interactions between materials and the biological stimuli in TME to further

regulate biological behaviors of nanomedicines; (3) TME modulation: evaluating the interactions between materials and the intrinsic features of TME to modulate TME and favor PDT process. A typical work by Durantini et al. first presented an “autocatalytic strategy” to improve PDT, by ROS-mediated second PS activation for ROS amplification (Figure 17).202 The as-designed PS is based on a two-segment PS-trap molecule where juxtaposed antioxidant (trap segment, chromanol) and prooxidant (PS segment, Br-BODIPY) are integrated together. Oxidation of the trap segment by generated 1O2 results in the restored sensitizing properties of the PS segment, leading to 40fold enhancement in 1O2 production. This pioneering work is instructive for the design of efficient ROS-based nanomedicines by utilizing juxtaposed antioxidant-pro-oxidant antagonistic chemistry. In addition to the ROS-generating performance, tumorspecific localization of nanomedicine is also of great significance to guarantee their bioavailability and subsequent PDT outcome. In a recent work, Ai et al. presented a unique TME-responsive strategy for endogenous enzyme-triggered covalent crosslinking of peptide-premodified UCNPs (CRUN) in the tumor region, thus to facilitate tumor accumulation and augment PDT efficiency (Figure 18).203 Intratumoral cathepsin B (CtsB) catalyzes the peptide cleavage to induce the crosslinking between the exposed groups on neighboring particles, P

Recent advances in nanotechnology have promoted the emergence of numerous nanosystems with TME-responsiveness and O2 generation capabilities for modulating hypoxia and enhancing PDT.210 These exquisite nanoplatforms were established by integrating organic enzymes or inorganic nanozymes, such as CAT,211,212 MnO2,213−218 or other catalytic nanomaterials219−222 that can convert intratumoral H2O2 to O2. For example, Zhu et al. first developed MnO2-nanosheetscoated semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs) that can initiate O2 generation in hypoxic tumor for promoting a PDT process (Figure 19a).213 The SPN core can respond to NIR irradiation and generate ROS subsequently, while the asdecorated MnO2 nanosheets act as a sacrificing component to convert intratumoral H2O2 to O2 under acidic TME, thus upregulating the oxygen level and augmenting the PDT effect. In another representative work, Hyeon and his co-workers also fabricated continuous O2-generating MnFe2O4-anchored MSNs for enhancing PDT (Figure 19b).220 The outer MnFe2O4 nanoparticles can catalyze H2O2 into O2 in hypoxic tumor,

positioning (active targeting). We have constructed a transcriptional activator protein (TAT) and three-amino acid peptide arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) coconjugated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as Ce6 carriers to favor sequential targeting for intranuclear photosensitization.205 RGD peptides endow the nanosystem with affinity to tumor vasculature and tumor cell membranes,206 while TAT peptides further favor the cell nucleus penetration of MSNs,207−209 thus enabling the efficient intranuclear accumulation of Ce6, significantly improving the therapeutic efficacy of PDT. For PDT nanoplatforms, their ROS-generating capabilities are closely related to the oxygen content of TME. However, hypoxia exists in most tumors (pO2 < 2.5 mmHg),33 which compromises the therapeutic performances of PDT. It is known that hypoxia results from oxygen diffusion limitation in primary tumors (diffusion-limited hypoxia) or temporally unstable blood flow in tumor microvascular networks (fluctuating perfusion-limited hypoxia),33 representing a key microenvironmental factor governing the outcome of PDT. Therefore, reoxygenation in TME by endogenous or exogenous R

favoring the subsequent ROS generation from activated Ce6 in MSNs. Moreover, MnFe2O4 nanoparticles are not consumed during the reaction, which enables continuous O2 generation. However, the aforementioned reoxygenation strategy may encounter difficulties due to the limited cellular H 2 O 2 concentration.223 Researchers are now seeking to conceive other applicable approaches to modulate hypoxia by means of, for example, selecting H2O as an alternative O2-generating reactant because H2O is the most abundant compound in living organisms. Two recent reports by Zhang and his co-workers have elucidated different H2O-involved, O2 evolution strategies. They first fabricated carbon-dots-decorated C3N4 for lighttriggered in vivo water splitting and O2 generation to support photodynamic ROS generation.224 Then, they also encapsulated CaO2 and MB into liposome to construct an O2 selfsufficient nanoplatform, in which CaO2 and H2O acted as the O2-generating source and biological trigger, respectively.225 These two approaches are effective for intratumoral reoxygenation in a H2O2-independent manner. As one of the most pivotal cancer therapeutic modalities, PDT develops fast armed with the advances in nanoplatform fabrication strategies (Table 1). It is expected that the achievements in nanotechnology will further boost the development of PDT in the next several decades.

cavitation).237 Particularly, inertial cavitation can create momentary temporospatial temperature gradients and initiate subsequent chemical reactions in biological medium (an effect termed sonochemistry), such as ROS production.237 However, in this process, the amount of as-generated ROS is not high enough to exert a therapeutic effect because of their limited generating rate and indiscriminate spatial distribution. Therefore, the assistance of additional sonosensitive compounds (i.e., sonosensitizers) is essential to guarantee high enough ROS-generating efficiency and specificity in tumor regions. It has been generally accepted that, the cavitation effect of US will lead to sonoluminescence or pyrolysis of sonosensitizers, thus contributing to the generation of ROS.92 Thanks to the development of nanochemistry, numerous sonosensitizer-based nanoplatforms have been developed for improving SDT. In this section, we will make a comprehensive overview on the state-of-the-art studies in this field and discuss the underlying material chemistry of ROS-based nanomedicines in augmenting SDT. 3.2.1. Organic Nanosonosensitizer-Augmented SDT. The early investigation on US-mediated antitumor effects of several organic molecules can be considered as the origin of SDT.238 Analogous to PDT, the first generation of sonosensitizer was based on porphyrins, such as hematoporphyrin (HP), hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME), PpIX, photofrin, ATX-70, and porphyrin derivatives,100,239 and their therapeutic effects have been confirmed by biologists and medical scientists. For example, Lv et al. demonstrated that the sonosensitization of PpIX suppressed the proliferation of human tongue squamous carcinoma SAS cells.240 Gao et al.

3.2. Sonodynamic Therapy (SDT)

Characterized by noninvasive, nonionizing, and tissue-penetrable nature, US has been extensively explored as external excitation source for numerous biomedical applications, such as ultrasonography, 2 2 6 , 2 2 7 high intensity-focused US (HIFU),228−230 low intensity-focused US (LIFU),231−233 SDT,92 and US-triggered drug release.234−236 As an emerging cancer therapeutic modality, SDT utilizes US to activate certain compounds (sonosensitizers) for initiating ROS generation in cancer cells, thus facilitating tumor eradication. Compared with light, the enhanced tissue-penetrability of US enables SDT to overcome the depth limitation, and thus exhibits greater application potential in cancer treatment. The mechanism of SDT lies in the physical interaction of US with tissues for consequent chemical cascades. Biological medium exposed to US experiences periodic pressure oscillations, resulting in the localized temperature elevation, as well as the nucleation, growth, and oscillation of gaseous cavities, a phenomenon referred to as cavitation (Figure 20). Such an effect involves rapid collapse of bubbles (inertial cavitation) and sustained oscillatory motion of bubbles (stable S

Benefiting from recent advances in nanochemistry, a number of nanocarriers have been fabricated to deliver sonosensitizers to tumor regions for improved physiological stability and enhanced tumor accumulation.245 We recently reported a biodegradable nanosystem for SDT by covalently anchoring PpIX into mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (MONs, Figure 21).246 The large surface area and pore volume of hollow MON (HMON) facilitate PpIX loading and further Mn2+ chelating (MnPpIX).247,248 Moreover, such a nanocarrier shows improved tumor accumulation of MnPpIX by EPR effect and can degrade in the tumor region based on the redoxresponsiveness of disulfide-bond in the framework of HMONs.

3.2.2. Inorganic Nanosonosensitizer-Augmented SDT. The successful application of organic molecules in SDT inspires us to explore inorganic sonosensitizers for improved therapeutic efficacy. TiO2 is the first inorganic nanomaterial applied in SDT, which can generate electron−hole pairs under US treatment for ROS generation.254 However, pristine TiO2 nanoparticles suffer from low dispersion stability in biological fluids, as well as limited ROS-generating efficiency due to the fast electron−hole recombination (50 ± 30 ns).255 Therefore, they are incapable to achieve the desired treatment outcome. Based on the recent advances in surface chemistry, numbers of surface functionalization strategies have been developed to elevate the therapeutic potential of TiO2, which can be generalized as the following two methodologies: The first one is decorating certain molecules on the surface of TiO2 to improve their physiological stability. A representative work in 2013 indicated that the surface OH groups of TiO2

deliver PpIX and Dox for synergistic sonodynamic/chemotherapeutic suppression of hepatocellular carcinoma.249 It is worth noting that O2 is also necessary in the SDT process. On account of hypoxia of solid tumors that may compromise the clinical outcomes of SDT,250 the construction of composite sonosensitizers with oxygen-delivering/generating agents would be favorable to improve SDT efficacy. McEwan et al. first fabricated oxygen-loaded, lipid-stabilized microbubbles decorated with rose bengal for hypoxia modulation in the SDT process.251 In another representative work, oxygen-delivering fluorocarbon (FC) chain and sonosensitizer IR780 were chelated into the mesopores of HMONs for improving SDT outcome.252 We recently constructed a nanozyme-augmented SDT nanosystem by encapsulating MnOx and PpIX into the framework of HMONs.253 The MnOx component can convert intratumoral H2O2 into O2, favoring the subsequent UStriggered ROS-generating process.

fabricated Au-TiO2 composite sonosensitizer to enhance TiO2-based SDT.255 The Au deposition prevented electron− hole recombination of TiO2 nanoparticles based on its high electroconductivity, thus favoring ROS generation.259,260 Recently, we reported on the integration of 2D reduced graphene oxide (GR) nanosheets with TiO2 nanoparticles to augment sonodynamic ROS-generating efficiency (Figure 23a).261 The 2D morphological feature of GR provides large amounts of anchoring points for TiO2, while the high electroconductivity of GR facilitates the separation of electron−hole pairs from the energy bands of TiO2, finally benefiting ROS generation.262 Moreover, the high photothermal-conversion capability of GR can also be applied for photothermal therapy (PTT) to provide a complementary therapeutic effect. In another recent work, we fabricated black TiO2@TiO2−x core/shell hierarchical nanostructure (B-TiO2−x) with abundant surface oxygen defects for simultaneous cancer SDT/PTT (Figure 23b).263 Such an oxygen-deficient layer is also capable of facilitating electron−hole separation from the covalent and conduction bands of TiO2 upon US treatment, thus benefiting ROS generation.

enable the electrostatic adsorption of graft copolymers, facilitating the formation of TiO2-entrapped micelles (Figure 22a).256 Such a core−shell architecture displayed improved dispersion stability and enhanced cellular uptake, favoring subsequent ROS generation in HeLa cells under US treatment. In another work, You et al. utilized hydrophilic carboxymethyl dextran to endow TiO2 nanoparticles with prolonged blood circulation for enhanced SDT (Figure 22b).111 In this work, researchers further manifested that the SDT process could initiate immunological cascade by facilitating the upregulation of proinflammatory cytokines and interleukins in tumor tissue. Moreover, they also demonstrated that the deeply located orthotopic tumor could be suppressed during the treatment process, further evidencing the superiority of SDT, i.e., high tissue penetrability. The second methodology is integrating functional materials on the surface of TiO2 to improve its ROS-generating performance. This strategy is inspired by recent works in catalytic chemistry, which take advantage of surface modification methods to facilitate electron−hole separation of TiO2.257,258 As a typical paradigm, Deepagan et al. first V

scientific communities in recent years.70,264−266 Owing to its unique physicochemical properties, such as thickness-dependent band gap, efficient singlet−triplet crossing, and desirable biodegradability, this 2D material has been applied in a number of theranostic modalities, such as PTT,267−269 PDT,178,270 chemotherapy,271,272 photoacoustic (PA) imaging,273,274 etc. Very recently, Ouyang et al. first reported that a BP nanosheet could also respond to US and generate ROS subsequently.113 Inspired by the previous surface engineering strategies, Au nanoparticles were also chelated on BP nanosheets for SDT enhancement. Given that the Fermi level of BP (−3.9 eV) is higher than that of Au (−5.1 eV), such an integration facilitated electron transfer from BP to Au, resulting in the formation of Schottky barriers to inhibit electron−hole recombination, thus favoring ROS generation. On account of the unique biodegradability of BP, it is expected that this emerging 2D material will play a more important role in next-generation SDT. Innovation continues in the field. The unique architecture of porphyrins, which confers these organic molecules with US responsiveness, has also aroused chemists’ enthusiasm to fabricate new sonosensitizers by mimicking their 3D geometry and spatial configuration. Pan et al. first constructed metal− organic-framework (MOF)-derived mesoporous carbon nanostructure containing porphyrin-like metal centers (PMCS) for SDT (Figure 24).275 According to the geometry-dependent electrostatic potential profiles, the superior ROS-generating capability of PMCS is closely associated with the porphyrin-like macrocycle in the nanostructure, in which the large gap between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) facilitates

Moreover, in this work, a nanoparticleassisted cavitation process was first visualized by a high-speed camera, further evidencing the cavitation-involved sonosensitization of PMCS. 3.2.3. Nanotechnology-Augmented but Sonosensitizer-free SDT. Back to the mechanisms of sonochemistry, the sudden collapse of bubbles (inertial cavitation) will inevitably create momentary pressure/temperature gradients to initiate ROS production, even in the absence of sonosensitizers. Therefore, the enhancement of inertial cavitation with the assistance of exogenous nanomedicine is an alternative approach to facilitate US-triggered ROS generation, finally improving the therapeutic outcome of SDT, i.e., sonosensitizerfree SDT. The most representative paradigm is TMEresponsive gas-generating nanosystem, which can generate specific gas bubbles (e.g., O2, CO2, NO, etc.) in the tumor region for the amplification of cavitation effect, thus favoring ROS production for SDT augmentation.276 Very recently, we have constructed CAT@MON composite nanosystems to initiate catalytic O2 generation within tumor tissue for HIFU-triggered therapy (Figure 25).277 The CAT encapsulated in the mesoporous framework of MONs is able to catalyze the disproportionation of intratumoral H2O2 to generate O2, which acts as cavitation nuclei to enhance inertial cavitation of HIFU and its consequent physicochemical effects (i.e., localized hyperthermia and sonodynamic ROS generation). Such a catalytic O2-generating nanoreactor enables efficient tumor ablation under a relatively low intensity of HIFU exposure, which is desired in clinical US-based therapeutic modalities. X

Review

Promoted by recent advances in nanotechnology, large amounts of US-triggered ROS-generating nanoplatforms have been designed to augment the therapeutic efficiency of SDT (Table 2). This emerging therapeutic modality, as we hope, will undergo a next wave of development in the following decade based on the deeper elucidation on its physicochemical mechanism.

However, due to the low mass energy absorption coefficient of tumor tissue, the therapeutic effect of X-ray may be compromised, while increased doses of X-ray radiation may also lead to serious collateral damage. Thus, in this section, we will concentrate on the recent advances in the fabrication of ROSbased nanomedicines to improve the therapeutic outcomes of X-ray-excited RT, hopefully contributing to the medical advances of RT in the future. 3.3.1. Radiosensitization of Tumor by Nanomaterials. Radiosensitization of tumor by exogenous materials (i.e., radiosensitizers) may be a feasible approach to facilitate intratumoral ROS generation and elevate RT efficacy. Although a few organic molecules such as porphyrins have been demonstrated with radiosensitizing properties,287 however, they suffer from rapid degradation and nonspecific distribution in biosystems, which will compromise tumor radiosensitization. This is where the rapidly developing nanotechnology comes into play.286 The emergence of ROS-based nanomedicines has provided advanced strategies to favor RT enhancement. In general, these radiosensitizing nanomedicines can be classified into two categories: (1) nanomaterials containing high atomic number (high-Z) elements with strong X-ray attenuation ability; (2) NO-generating nanosystems responsive to X-ray irradiations for on-demand release of radiosensitizing NO. Based on the quantum physics theory, the energy-transfer processes under X-ray irradiation, such as photoelectric effect, are positively correlated with the atomic number of irradiated matter. Therefore, nanomaterials containing high-Z elements are capable of presenting strong photoelectric absorbance capacities and releasing electrons (photoelectrons and Auger electrons) for subsequent ROS generation. These emerging nanomaterials, such as Au,288,289 Bi2Se3,286,290−294 TaOx,295,296 W-based materials, 297,298 Hf 4+ -contained MOF, 299−301 UCNPs,302,303 etc., can serve as efficient inorganic radiosensitizers to concentrate ionization energy within tumors for intracellular ROS generation, finally improving RT efficacy. For example, Song et al. first prepared ultrathin Bi2Se3 nanosheets with high X-ray attenuation coefficient for efficient tumor radiosensitization.291 Notably, this 2D radiosensitizer can release vital selenium element for reducing the occurrence of liver, prostate, and lung cancers, further benefiting RT. We recently constructed Bi2Se3-embedded MSNs for simultaneous RT sensitization and pH-responsive CDR.290 The synergy between CDR and RT exerted enhanced therapeutic effect against multidrug-resistance (MDR) cancer cells,304 demonstrating that RT can provide a complementary effect to overcoming the limits of conventional chemotherapy. Moreover, Yong et al. also fabricated Gd-containing polyoxometalates (POMs)-conjugated chitosan (GdW10@CS) for promoting tumor radiosensitization (Figure 27).298 High-Z W and Gd atoms in the GdW10@CS possess strong X-ray attenuation capacity for the efficient radiosensitization and ROS generation, while W6+ can also act as an electron acceptor to react with GSH for improved ROS-generating effect. It is noted that electrons emitted from high-Z nanomaterials can not only directly interact with adjacent tumor tissues but also activate another adjacent semiconducting material across the interface to facilitate the motion of charge carriers (i.e., electrons and holes) for a second amplification of ROS generation. This process is accompanied by the sequential energy transfer from X-ray to high-Z nanomaterials and to semiconducting nanomaterials, resulting in elevated ROSgenerating efficiency. As a typical paradigm, Cheng et al. first

3.3. Radiation Therapy (RT)

RT is still one of the mainstream cancer therapeutic modalities in the clinic together with chemotherapy and surgery.278−280 It takes advantage of ionizing radiation to initiate aberrant physicochemical alterations in cancer cells, such as water ionization and consequent ROS generation,95 inducing the breakage of the DNA double strand and finally suppressing tumor progression. Based on the radiation sources, RT can be further classified into external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and internal radioisotope therapy (IRT).281 As the most common form of RT, EBRT is implemented by the irradiation of external radiation beams such as high-energy X-ray on pathological sites,282−284 while IRT is assisted by endogenous radiation from radioisotopes (e.g., 131I, 90Y, 188Re, 64Cu, etc.) located in pathological sites after systemic administration and tumor accumulation.98 Thus, IRT is competent for the treatment of metastatic tumors.95,285 Given high-energy X-ray is the most common radiation source in current clinical RT, in this review, we will concentrate on the X-ray-excited RT. Since Roentgen’s 1895 discovery of Xray, its mysterious veil has been gradually uncovered by physicists in the past century. The physical processes of X-ray irradiation, such as Rayleigh scattering, photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, etc., have also been systematically elucidated during that period (Figure 26).95 In RT, the

Rayleigh scattering fails to bring the therapeutic effect of X-ray due to its elastic nature without energy loss. Comparatively, the photoelectric effect is capable of initiating a toxic effect because the ejected photoelectrons can interact with ambient H2O to produce ROS. In addition, the accompanied Auger effect also favors ROS generation by the release of short-range secondary electrons (i.e., Auger electrons). As a classical inelastic interaction, Compton scattering can also transfer partial energy of incident X-ray to ejected electrons for ROS generation. Therefore, when tumor tissues are exposed to X-ray, the generated photoelectrons, Auger electrons, and Compton electrons can react with the surrounding H2O molecules to produce ROS for causing cancer cell death.286 Y

constructed Au@TiO2 hybrid anisotropic nanostructure as an efficient radiosensitizer for treating triple-negative breast cancer (Figure 28).289 Under X-ray irradiation, high-energy electrons emitted from Au nanoparticles can travel for microns in aqueous solutions for ROS production, while the low-energy electrons can only deposit energy within the nanometer vicinity of Au, which enables the strong asymmetric electric coupling between Au and TiO2 at their nanoscale interfaces, resulting in the separation of generated electrons and holes on the surface

29).309 Under exogenous X-ray irradiation, the S−N bond of SNO will cleave, leading to NO release for on-demand radiosensitization of tumor. It is expected that more NOgenerating nanoplatforms will be fabricated in the future to promote the improvement of RT outcomes. 3.3.2. RT Enhancement by Tumor Microenvironment (TME) Modulation. A dilemma in the clinical RT is the radioresistance of solid tumors, as a consequence of their hypoxic nature in a multifactorial but interrelated fashion. For example, under X-ray irradiation, DNA radicals (DNA•) can be produced to result in the apoptosis of cancer cells. However, such cytotoxic effects fail to be present under hypoxic conditions, which is mainly attributed to the reduction of DNA• by thiol compounds in hypoxic tumor.95 Moreover, as the hallmark of hypoxia response, the upregulation of hypoxiainducible factor 1 (HIF1) activity can promote the expression of VEGF, while creating pleiotropic effects on tumor cells to counterbalance the promotion of radiation-induced cell apoptosis, further compromising RT efficacy.310 Thus, to surmount hypoxia-associated radioresistance, the modulation of hypoxic TME is desired to reoxygenate tumor and enhance radiation response. In the past decade, various nanoplatforms have been fabricated to relieve hypoxia in RT. In general, these nanosystems can be classified into the following three categories: The first one is O2-generating nanosystems, such as CATloaded nanocomposites296 and MnO2 nanoparticles,311−313 which can catalyze the decomposition of intratumoral H2O2 into O2 for mitigating hypoxia. For example, Song et al. first fabricated CAT-loaded TaOx nanoshells as bionanoreactors and radiosensitizers to enhance RT.296 High-Z Tantalum possesses a high X-ray attenuation coefficient capable of concentrating radiation energy within the tumor, while CAT-catalyzed O2 generation can relieve tumor hypoxia and improve RT efficacy. Moreover, the mesoporous structure of TaOx nanoshells

enables the free diffusion of H2O2 and O2, guaranteeing the high catalytic activity of CAT. In addition, Prasad et al. fabricated albumin/polyelectrolyte-coated MnO2 (A-MnO2) nanoparticles that could react with intratumoral H2O2 and H+ for simultaneous O2 generation and pH regulation (Figure 30a).311 It has been demonstrated that the treatment with AMnO2 nanoparticles lead to the downregulations of HIF1α and VEGF, further promoting hypoxia modulation. Inspired by this work, Yi et al. reported core−shell Au@MnO2 nanoparticles for enhanced RT via favoring tumor reoxygenation.312 The second one is O2-delivering nanosystems, such as perfluorocarbon (PFC)-based nanomaterials,314 hemoglobinloaded nanomaterials315 and oxygen microbubbles,316 which present high O2-loading capability for TME modulation. A recent study by Gao et al. first reported erythrocyte-membranecoated PFC nanoparticles as artificial RBCs to deliver O2 and enhance radiation response (Figure 30b).314 In this hierarchical nanoformulation, PFC serves as a promising oxygen carrier to elevate intratumoral O2 level for enhancing RT, while the coating of the erythrocyte membrane prolongs the blood circulation half-life of the biomimetic nanosystem. In addition to surmounting hypoxia-associated radioresistance, such a strategy may also be beneficial for improving the outcomes of other therapeutic modalities such as PDT and SDT, in which tumor hypoxia is also a key cause of therapeutic resistances. Other O2-delivering materials, such as hemoglobin or oxygenmicrobubble-based composite nanosystems, are commensurate to PFC-based ones in regulating hypoxic TME and enhancing RT efficacy. The third category is photothermal agents, such as Bi2Se3/ Bi2S3-based nanosystems,286,292−294 which can result in mild hyperthermia during PTT to boost the blood flow into the tumor and increase the intratumoral O2 level, thus reducing radioresistance and enhancing RT efficacy. We first fabricated 2D MoS2/Bi2S3 composite nanosheets for synergistic PTT/RT AB

(Figure 31).292 As one of the most representative transition metal dichalcogenides, MoS2 nanosheets with favorable photothermal performance have been extensively explored for PTT,317−321 while Bi2S3 with high X-ray attenuation capability can enhance radiosensitization of tumor. The integration of MoS2-based PTT and Bi2S3-based RT presents a synergistic therapeutic effect for tumor eradication. Another example is polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)- and selenocysteine (Sec)-modified Bi2Se3 nanoparticles for PTT-enhanced RT.293 The strong NIR absorption ability of Bi2Se3 was utilized for photothermal conversion and subsequent hypoxia modulation, providing a complementary effect in mitigating radioresistance during RT. Such a PTT-augmented RT strategy will be further discussed in the following section for the RT-based synergistic therapy to help readers understand the synergy between the two cancer therapeutic modalities. The above three categories of tumor-reoxygenating nanosystems provide feasible tools to modulate hypoxic TME and enhance RT. It is believed that the development of nanotechnology will further favor the emergence of multifunctional nanoplatforms to overcome hypoxia in RT, finally making evergreater medical advances. 3.3.3. Radiation Protection by ROS Scavenger. The high-energy ionizing radiation during RT can be a doubleedged sword, which not only enables tumor suppression but also leads to inevitable damage to adjacent normal tissues. At the cellular level, the ionizing radiation can induce unavoidable ROS generation in ambient normal cells, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction, mitotic catastrophe, and activation/inactivation of various proteins involved in the apoptotic process.139 Although the cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms are capable of relieving oxidative stress to a certain extent, however, they fail to rectify all the radiation damage during RT. The dyshomeostasis of intracellular redox status gives rise to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, hair loss, etc., which underscores the need to consider rational strategies for radiation protection. With the rapid development of nanotechnology, large numbers of nanoplatforms with ROS-scavenging capabilities have been fabricated as efficient radioprotectants,322 including (1) inorganic nanozymes such as CeO 2 nanoparticles,84,139,323,324 which present intrinsic SOD-like catalytic activities for scavenging excessive ROS; (2) inorganic electrocatalysts such as MoS2,325 WS2,326 Pt-based alloy,327 etc., which present excellent oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activities for ROS depletion; and (3) organic nanoparticles containing ROS-scavenging groups, such as melanin nanoparticles,328

which combine physical shielding and chemical quenching effects of ROS for mitigating radiation-induced side effects. As one of the most prevailing candidates among inorganic nanozymes, CeO2 nanoparticles with multiple enzyme-mimicking properties (SOD, CAT, and even oxidase-like activities) have been extensively investigated in the past two decades,131,329−332 of which SOD and CAT-like activities endow them with intrinsic sequential ROS-scavenging performances (i.e., from O2•− to H2O2 to H2O), by reversibly binding oxygen atoms and shifting between the Ce3+ (reduced) and Ce4+ (oxidized) forms. The unique antioxidative property of CeO2 has been extensively explored in radioprotection. A prominent study in 2005 by Tarnuzzer et al. first presented that vacancyengineered CeO2 nanoparticles conferred normal human breast cells with a radioprotection effect.84 In this work, CeO2 treatment resulted in almost 99% protection of normal human breast cells from radiation damage, whereas the same CeO2 concentration showed almost no protection effect on human breast tumor line, MCF-7. Such a selective radioprotective effect of CeO2 nanoparticles is highly beneficial in mitigating radiation damage on normal tissues while guaranteeing RT efficacy on tumors. Moreover, these researchers further demonstrated that the intra- and extracellular pH differences in tumors versus normal tissue may contribute to the selective radioprotective effects. In another two successional reports, CeO2 nanoparticles were also demonstrated to protect the normal lung fibroblast and gastrointestinal epithelium against radiation-induced damage by scavenging excessive ROS.139,323 The significant radioprotective effect of CeO2 nanozyme also inspired the investigations of other inorganic nanomaterials with ROS-scavenging activities for radiation protection. Recently, encouraged by the momentous achievements in electrocatalysis,333 several representative electrocatalysts with excellent ORR activities have also been applied for the depletion of excessive ROS in RT. Zhang et al. first reported Cys-decorated MoS2 dots as highly efficient radioprotectants against ionizing radiation (Figure 32).325 They indicated that the antioxidative property of MoS2 dots could be attributed to their excellent electrocatalytic activities for H2O2 reduction and ORR by facilitating free electron transfer.334 In vivo studies showed that Cys-protected MoS2 dots exhibited nearly 80% urine excretion in 24 h without any significant toxic effects, further demonstrating that such engineered MoS2 dots are biocompatible enough for future radioprotective applications. Alternatively, Bai et al. revealed that ultrasmall WS2 quantum dots could also protect hematopoietic system and DNA from radiation damage by scavenging excessive ROS throughout the AC

Moreover, the hollow nanostructures of PtPdRh also provide more available active sites and larger surface area than solid counterparts for efficient H2O2 depletion.335,336 Density functional theory (DFT) calculation in this work indicates that the bond breakage of O2•− enables oxygen atoms generation on the surface of PtPdRh, which is responsible for the radioprotective performance.

damage. On account of persistent breakthrough being made in the fertile research area of electrocatalysis,337−341 it is believed that more electrocatalysts with excellent ORR activities will be applied as efficient radioprotectants to protect normal tissues from the oxidative damage during RT. Besides inorganic nanozymes or electrocatalysts, organic nanoparticles containing ROS-scavenging groups, such as melanin nanoparticles, have also been explored as biodegradable ROS scavengers for radioprotection. The radioprotective properties of melanin are attributed to the combined physical shielding and quenching effects of cytotoxic ROS.342 Schweitzer et al. proposed that the radioprotection by melanin is a complex interplay between promoted ROS depletion and inhibited ROS generation through the gradual dissipation of Compton recoil electron energy.343 Thus, based on the intrinsic antioxidative performance, such an organic radioprotectant can be applied to help in protecting normal tissues and organs during RT. For example, Rageh et al. first fabricated melanin nanoparticles to serve as ROS scavengers for the protection of hematopoietic tissues.328 It is noted that in-depth mechanistic investigations are still necessary, given that the radioprotectant overdose will lead to an excessive ROS-scavenging effect resulting in the neutralization of the tumoricidal effect of RT in the tumor region. Based on the above discussion, to overcome the intrinsic limitations of RT and optimize its overall therapeutic outcomes, the judicious scheduling of different nanomedical strategies (Table 3) may be of great importance in benefiting the further development of such a conventional but mainstream cancer therapeutic modality in the clinic.

without external energy input, thus surmounting the tissue penetration limitations encountered by physical-irradiationtriggered ROS-generating therapeutic modalities, displaying a greater application potential for next-generation clinical cancer treatment. Such a chemical-stimuli-driven tumor-specific ROS-generating therapeutic modality was termed as “chemodynamic therapy (CDT)” in our 2016 report on TME-activated localized Fenton reaction for cancer therapy.353 Since then, in the past two years, a number of remarkable studies have tried to fabricate CDT-based nanosystems for advanced cancer therapeutics with high tumor selectivity and therapeutic efficiency. In these works, most nanosystems are designed to respond to the intratumoral H+ and H2O2 to favor Fenton or Fenton-like reactions in TME, thereby favoring the generation of highly toxic •OH against tumors. In this section, we will concentrate on recent advances in CDT and elucidate the underlying chemical principles that confer this emerging therapeutic modality with unique merits for future medical advances. 3.4.1. Catalytic ROS Generation by Fenton or Fentonlike Reactions. The demonstration of Fenton reaction can be considered as a milestone in the development of ROS chemistry. In the presence of Fe2+, H2O2 can be decomposed into highly active •OH radicals in a pH-dependent manner,354 accompanied by dramatic elevation of oxidability.355 Such an intriguing phenomenon drives chemists to take advantage of such an oxidability evolution for numerous applications, such as advanced oxidation processes in industry356 or CDT in medicine for catalytic tumor treatment.62 In fact, in cell biology, Fenton reaction is one of the common physiological processes and plays an important role in ROS regulation. The inactivation of intracellular [Fe−S] clusters via O2•−-involved one-electron oxidation reaction enables the release of H2O2 and Fe2+, which is afterward responsible for cellular •OH generation by Fenton chemistry.2 Such a spontaneous process is within the threshold of cellular redox homeostasis and incapable of presenting therapeutic effects.357 In cancer therapy, the introduction of extraneous Fenton agents to favor excessive • OH generation in cancer cells is highly desired to ensure significant therapeutic efficacy.

3.4. Chemodynamic Therapy (CDT)

In cancer therapeutics, numbers of nanomedicines have been designed with unique responsiveness toward ambient stimuli for generating ROS specifically within tumors. In the previous sections, the discussed cancer therapeutic modalities (i.e., PDT, SDT, RT) are based on the exogenous physical irradiations (e.g., UV−vis light, US, and X-ray), which can translate external energy into internal chemical energy of ROS. Although these therapeutic modalities have been developed to provide applicable approaches for cancer treatment, however, they suffer from limited tissue penetration and inevitable damage to normal tissues, which will greatly compromise the therapeutic outcomes. TME has been extensively investigated recently, in which the cellular metabolism and consequent biosynthetic intermediates/products are prominently different from those in normal tissues (Figure 34).344 The unique biochemical features of TME, such as mild acidity,345,346 high GSH concentration,347−349 and elevated H2O2 level,350−352 provide feasible tools for precise discrimination between tumor and normal tissues. Here, a novel but highly attractive therapeutic concept comes into being: if we could utilize these intrinsic biochemical features in TME as endogenous stimuli, to activate the innate powers of intratumor-delivered nanomedicines, by initiating and facilitating specific in situ chemical reactions only within tumorous tissues rather than normal ones, in which these nontoxic nanomedicines or intratumoral chemical substances are transformed into highly cytotoxic ROS against tumors, the therapy will be realized with high therapeutic efficacy and negligible side effect. It should also be noted that, in this therapeutic process, the intratumoral chemical reactions are directly initiated by endogenous chemical energy in TME AE

catalytic ROS generation for cancer therapy (Figure 35).353 We first proposed the concept of “chemodynamic therapy” in this report to hopefully elucidate such an emerging therapeutic modality that takes advantage of endogenous chemical energy in TME to drive intratumoral ROS generation. Benefiting from the glassy nature, the amorphous Fe nanoparticles (AFeNPs) showed greatly improved TME (weak acidity)-responsiveness over their nanocrystalline counterparts and thus presented high therapeutic potential. A phenomenological study by Shevtsov et al. reported that the integration of zerovalent Fe with MSNs could facilitate the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme by crossing the blood−brain barrier (BBB) and initiating Fenton reactions,358 further promoting the application of such a “ferrous ions extraction” strategy in CDT. In addition to zerovalent Fe, FePt is also an important nanoagent to facilitate Fe2+ release in TME for therapy. Since the first report of monodisperse FePt nanoparticles in 2000,362 such ferromagnetic nanocrystals with high magnetocrystalline anisotropy and tunable compositional chemistry have created a wave of enthusiasm of scientists to utilize their unique physicochemical properties for therapeutic applications.360 Sun et al. discovered that, compared with face centered tetragonal (fct) phase of FePt that is chemically ordered and highly stable (Fe and Pt atoms form alternating layers stacked along the [001] direction), the chemically disordered face centered cubic (fcc) counterpart (Fe and Pt atoms are randomly positioned) is subject to acidic TME etching for facilitating Fe2+ release and •OH generation specifically in tumor cells.359 Analogous to the aforementioned AFeNPs, the fcc phase of FePt also benefits from their chemically disordered structure that offers reactivity and thereby can also act as a smart Fe reservoir for controlled Fe2+ release specifically within TME. Different from the above pH-responsive self-sacrificing nanosystems, several nanocatalysts can initiate Fenton-like reactions within acidic tumor tissue while maintaining their compositional integrities due to the catalytic nature and thus to favoring •OH generation in a more stable manner. Thanks to the remarkable advances in the field of nanozymes, numerous

However, the direct introduction of Fe2+ into biosystems is counterproductive to achieve expected therapeutic outcomes. On account of the nonspecificity of Fe2+ during blood circulation, these active ions may even lead to severe oxidative damage in noncancerous regions,353 hindering the further development of Fenton-reaction-based CDT. The fast development of nanotechnology leads us to reconsider more feasible strategies to initiate Fenton or Fenton-like reactions specifically within tumor. In general, these strategies can be further categorized into two methodologies: (1) Construction of pHresponsive self-sacrificing nanosystems, such as zerovalent Fe353,358 and FePt,359,360 which can undergo ionization of matrix in acidic TME, leading to the in situ transformation of Fe from the fixed state (i.e., zerovalent Fe and FePt) to their ionic counterparts (i.e., as-released Fe2+ ions), thus to initiate intratumoral Fenton reaction; (2) Fabrication of pH-responsive self-catalytic nanosystems, such as nanozymes as peroxidase mimics (e.g., Fe3O4), which can respond to acidic TME and present peroxidase-like activities accordingly while maintaining their compositional integrities, thereby favoring Fenton-like reactions in a more stable and continuous manner. The former methodology is based on the acidic-TME-triggered dynamic evolution of the compositional chemistry of noncatalytic nanomaterials for the release of catalytic Fenton agents (Fe2+), and the latter is based on the acidic-TME-triggered dynamic alteration of the reaction chemistry of catalytic nanomaterials to selectively enhance Fenton-like reaction activities within tumor, while their intrinsic physicochemical properties remain intact. Localized acidification of Fe metals enables Fe valence elevation from 0 to +2 for ferrous ion extraction from the etched metallic matrix, finally initiating highly cytotoxic •OH generation against tumor. Among different forms of Fe metals, Fe-based amorphous metals and alloys (also be described as metallic glasses, MGs), which feature extremely high reactive nature due to their metastable random structure, have attracted extensive attention from scientific communities in the past few years.361 In our recent work, the unique reaction characteristic of amorphous Fe was also utilized to facilitate tumor-specific AF

condition), thus reaching selectivity and specificity for cancer treatment. An early study in 2013 first reported Fe3O4mediated selective •OH generation for tumor treatment.379 Then, Fu et al. also constructed a FeOx-based nanosystem to initiate lysosomal •OH generation against cancer.380 Recently, we successfully engineered rFeOx into the framework of hollow MSNs (HMSNs) for concurrent TME-specific •OH generation and biodegradation.381 Such an iron-engineered composite nanocatalyst could readily collapse via an “iron-extraction” strategy under a protein-rich environment,382 thus overcoming the low biodegradability of pristine IONPs. The application of IONPs in cancer CDT also promoted the exploration of other iron-free nanozymes with pH-responsive catalytic activities for cancer therapy.383 For example, Cu-based nanoparticles, such as CuS and CuO, were also reported to possess peroxidase-mimicking activities that can initiate Fenton-like reactions through the cycling between Cu+ and Cu2+.384−391 On account of the intrinsic chemical characteristics of Cu element, such as facilitating ATP depletion to inhibit cancer cell proliferation,392 or potentiating the toxicity of some chemodrugs (e.g., tetraethylthiuram disulfide),393 it is expected that Cu-based nanozymes will also attract extensive attention as multifunctional nanoplatforms for efficient cancer therapy.

nanomaterials have been demonstrated with peroxidase-like activities,101,363−369 among which Fe3O4 nanoparticle is the most prominent one and has been extensively explored in CDT.370 Year 2007 marked the booming growth of Fe3O4based nanocatalytic applications when Yan and her co-workers first reported the intrinsic horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-like activity of ferromagnetic nanoparticles.85,371 They demonstrated that Fe3O4 nanoparticles can catalyze the oxidation of peroxidase substrates in the presence of H2O2, leading to a color reaction similar to that of natural peroxidases. Since then, marked breakthroughs have been made in this field,372−377 and the most typical one is Gu and his colleagues’ 2012 elucidation on the pH-dependent dual enzyme mimetic activities of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) in intracellular environment (Figure 36).378 Under neutral pH condition (e.g., cytosol conditions), IONPs could catalytically disproportionate H2O2 into nontoxic H2O and O2, presenting CAT-like activity. Comparatively, under acidic condition (e.g., lysosome conditions), they could decompose H2O2 into highly toxic •OH via Fenton reaction, displaying peroxidase-like activity. Although this work was designed to evaluate the cytotoxicity of IONPs, however, such pH-dependent dual enzyme mimetic activities of IONPs also indicate a significant antineoplastic potential: selective catalytic generation of •OH in tumor tissues (mild acidic condition) rather than normal ones (neutral AG

However, according to tumor biology, the H2O2 level in cancer cells is usually limited under a certain threshold by endogenous cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms,10 which will decrease the therapeutic efficacy of CDT. Therefore, the TME-regulation strategy to upregulate the intracellular H2O2 level is highly desired. Constructing sequential catalytic reactions by initiating additional H2O2-generating reaction(s) prior to the Fenton or Fenton-like reactions is the mainstream methodology in current CDT to surmount the problem of limited H2O2 concentration in TME. The first step of intratumoral H2O2 upregulation by inducing rational catalytic reactions will be favorable for the second step, i.e., Fenton or Fenton-like reactions for •OH generation. Based on the recent remarkable advances in this field, such a stepwise catalytic reaction methodology can be further elucidated into the two following approaches: The first one is encapsulating platinum prodrug and Fenton agent into one single nanoformulation. The as-delivered platinum prodrug can be reduced by overexpressed GSH in TME for the generation of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (cisplatin), which is capable of activating NOX to catalyze dissolved O2 into O2•−. Then, O2•− can be further converted into H2O2 by intracellular SOD. Finally, the delivered Fenton

In addition to the aforementioned transition metal (i.e., Fe and Cu)-based nanozymes, a few metal-free nanozymes have also been developed in CDT. Very recently, Fan et al. presented an elaborately designed nanozyme, nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanospheres (N-PCNSs), with four enzyme (oxidase, peroxidase, CAT, and SOD)-like activities based on pH variation for tumor-specific ROS generation (Figure 37).394 Such a nanozyme design rationale is inspired from the recent advances in electrocatalysis, which doped nitrogen atoms in the framework of porous carbon to confer this electrocatalyst with enhanced catalytic performance. Under acidic environment (i.e., TME), the as-prepared N-PCNSs present oxidase-like and peroxidase-like activities to facilitate simultaneous oxygen consumption and •OH generation (similar to ORR), thus enabling concurrent tumor starvation and CDT for enhanced therapeutic outcome. Comparatively, under neutral environment (i.e., normal tissue), these nanocatalyst are capable of presenting CAT-like and SOD-like activities that favor ROS depletion (similar to OER in electrocatalysis), which also indicate significant application potentials for antioxidative therapy, where ROS depletion is suggested to maintain intracellular redox homeostasis. Additionally, on account of the spontaneous natures of Fenton or Fenton-like reactions, external physical interventions (e.g., light, US, etc.) have also been introduced in CDT to assist temporospatial control of ROS-generating processes for improved therapeutic outcome. In our recent work, we have constructed UCNP-based composite nanosystem to target mitochondrial DNA for CDT, in which NIR was applied to regulate intramitochondrial Fenton reaction process, further promoting •OH generation (Figure 38).395 Moreover, Li et al. also used US as exogenous trigger to activate Fe3O4-loaded AH

agent catalyzes H2O2 decomposition and •OH generation for initiating the therapeutic effect. This strategy is based on the two endogenous natural enzymes (i.e., NOX and SOD) and the introduced Fenton agent to bridge the entire reaction cascade initiated by the GSH-triggered release of cisplatin. Thus, under the joint functioning of platinum prodrug and Fenton agent, sequential conversion of the chemical states of oxygen is enabled, from initial nontoxic intracellular O2, to ultimate highly cytotoxic •OH in a stepwise manner. As a typical paradigm, Ma et al. first decorated cisplatin prodrug on the surface of IONPs to facilitate intracellular sequential ROS evolution for enhanced CDT (Figure 39).397 The elevated •OH level results in oxidative damage to lipids, proteins, and DNA of cancer cells, inducing apoptosis via the ROS/Cyt C/caspase-3 pathway. Inspired by this work, Dai et al. constructed two types of self-assembled metal-phenolic network nanoparticles (composed of platinum prodrug

polyphenols, PEG polyphenols matrix, and Fe3+) to augment cancer CDT.398,399 They first introduced MPO into such a sequential catalytic system to catalyze additional HClO generation within cancer cells, and thereby to further potentiate a •OH-based CDT outcome.399 Then they also utilized Dox as an additional exogenous stimulus besides platinum prodrug polyphenols to further promote O2•− production and downstream •OH generation for an enhanced CDT effect.398 However, such platinum-prodrug-activated sequential catalytic reactions may suffer from the dynamic variations of the concentrations and catalytic activities of the two endogenous enzymes (i.e., NOX and SOD) in the intracellular milieu. This limitation drives us to consider other feasible strategies to circumvent such a limitation of endogenous enzymes. Here, it is conceived that, if we could directly introduce exogenous enzymes into the reaction system, rather than activate endogenous enzymes indirectly by chemical reactions, the AI

Other nanotechnologies for cancer CDT have also been developed in parallel. Recently, a number of specific organic molecules has also been reported with ROS-generating capabilities, which can respond to specific biochemical triggers and initiate autologous intramolecular structural variations to facilitate ROS generation. Compared with conventional inorganic Fenton agents that take advantage of H2O2 as indispensable substrate, such bioresponsive organic molecules can act as innate ROS sources to favor intracellular ROS generation without the addition of H2O2 and thus to overcome the H2O2 limitation in cancer cells. Among these emerging organic agents, artemisinin and its derivatives are the most representative ones that have been extensively explored in non-Fenton CDT.401 Their unique endoperoxide bridges can undergo reductive cleavage upon Fe2+ activation, leading to significant ROS generation.

This strategy can even simplify the H2O2-generation process by judicious selection of one single exogenous while robust enzyme, for example, glucose oxidase (GOD, or GOx),400 to directly catalyze the intrinsic substances in TME (e.g., glucose) into H 2 O 2 intermediates and thus to favor the subsequent Fenton or Fenton-like reactions for CDT. In our recent report, a composite nanocatalyst was constructed by integrating natural GOD and ultrasmall Fe3O4 nanoparticles into the biodegradable dendritic MSN (DMSNs), to facilitate sequential catalytic reactions for TME modulation and CDT augmentation (Figure 40).17 The as-delivered GOD in the composite nanocatalyst could effectively catalyze the depletion of glucose nutrients and in the meantime generate H2O2 in TME (Sequential reaction I, biological catalysis), providing abundant substrate to support subsequent Fentonlike reaction catalyzed by the codelivered Fe3O4 nanozymes AJ

resultantly produced ROS in conventional Fenton-based CDT, the as-delivered LAHP as an exogenous ROS source is able to largely elevate the intratumoral ROS production and thus exhibit great application potential for next-generation CDT. As an exogenous chemical-stimuli-driven therapeutic modality, CDT confers cancer treatment with high specificity, efficacy, and biosafety (Table 4). It is believed that such an emerging cancer nanotherapeutic modality will undergo a second leap-forward in development in the near future.

Based on the recent advances in the biomedical applications of MOFs,403−407 Wang et al. designed core−shell Mn3[Co(CN)6]2@MIL-100(Fe) MOF nanocubes as both artesunate carrier and Fe2+ donor, for pH-responsive artesunate activation and intratumoral ROS generation.408 The success of artemisinin and its derivatives in CDT also promoted the exploration of other types of peroxides to favor chemodynamic ROS generation within tumor. Linoleic acid hydroperoxide (LAHP) is one of the primary products of lipid peroxidation, which can be decomposed into 1O2 in the presence of Fe2+ through the Russell mechanism.

(III) activation by exogenous physical irradiation and 1O2 generation. In this section, we will present the state-of-the-art studies concerning recent advances in this field and elucidate corresponding fundamental mechanisms underlying ROS responsiveness for therapeutic specificity. 3.5.1. CDR Directly Activated by Endogenous Intratumoral H2O2. Analogous to conventional Fenton CDT, CDR can also be directly activated by overexpressed H2O2. Benefiting from the advances in nanosynthetic chemistry, numbers of H2O2-responsive nanosystems with unique structural, compositional, and morphological characteristics have been fabricated for precision manipulation of the CDR process. Most of these elaborately engineered nanoplatforms are based on organic redox-active functional segments, which will undergo oxidative cleavage of specific intramolecular/intermolecular covalent bonds in the presence of H2O2 to favor on-demand therapeutic molecules activation/release.425−427 Generally, these active segments are grafted on the host polymer chains which can self-assemble into nanoformulations,428−430 capable of favoring passive tumor targeting via the EPR effect in tumor microvascular systems.431 As a typical paradigm, Wang et al. have prepared a redoxresponsive prodrug nanosystem for CDR in 2013,432 by integrating a camptothecin-based topoisomerase I inhibitor 7ethyl-10-hydroxyl-camptothecin (SN38) and a hydrophilic oligomer of ethylene oxide oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) via thioether chain connection (OEG-2S-SN38), which is capable of being oxidized by intratumoral H2O2 to favor the hydrolysis of nanocapsules and subsequent release of SN38 within tumor. In another representative work, Xu et al. integrated anticancer drug mitoxantrone (MTO) with PEG to fabricate selfassembled H2O2-responsive polyprodrug nanoparticles for CDR.433 The excessive H2O2 in TME can initiate thioketal bond cleavage in the as-fabricated polyprodrug for MTO

ROS-mediated CDR has been extensively developed recently, accompanied by the emergence of numbers of engineered nanoformulations with functional motifs sensitive to ROS for initiating inner drug release specifically in the pathological region (Figure 42).96,424 From the perspective of chemical principles, current ROS-mediated CDR can be further classified into the following three categories based on their reaction principles and energy conversion: (I) direct activation by endogenous intratumoral H 2 O 2 , (II) activation by endogenous H2O2 decomposition and O2 generation, and

decomposed into Mn2+ in acidic H2O2 environment to favor the loaded chemodrug release.438−440 Although O2 is also generated in this process, it is still supposed to be categorized as type I ROS-mediated CDR rather than a type II one, because such a process is directly associated with H2O2-mediated disintegration of host MnO2 matrix leading to the free diffusion and release of guest drug molecules, instead of O2 evolution that provides these guest therapeutic molecules with high enough energy to break loose from the host−guest interactions. Since the first demonstration of MnO2 on enhancing chemotherapy response in 2015,441 several reports have presented the fabrication of MnO2-based CDR nanoplatforms in the past three years.442−445 For example, Hao et al. used hyaluronic acid (HA)-functionalized MnO2 nanosheets as TME-responsive nanocarrier to deliver cisplatin for CDR.445 The ultrasensitive responsiveness of MnO2 nanosheets to acidic H2O2 guarantees high efficiency and tumor-specificity of the CDR process, while the decorated HA can reprogram the antiinflammatory, pro-tumoral M2 macrophages into pro-inflammatory, antitumor M1 ones to further mitigate chemoresistance and enhance therapeutic efficacy. The given H2O2 concentration is limited to a certain threshold in cancer cells; sequential reactions have also been developed in CDR for elevated H2O2 level and consequently improved responsiveness. A recent report presented a cascade amplification release nanoplatform (CARN) for significantly enhanced therapeutic efficiency by facilitating intratumoral H2O2 elevation (Figure 44).446 This nanoplatform was fabricated by simultaneously loading H2O2 supplier βLapachone (Lapa) and H 2 O 2 -responsive Dox prodrug (BDox) into block copolymer, poly(ethylene glycol)-poly[2(methylacryloyl)ethylnicotinate] (PEG-PMAN). Lapa released from the composite nanoformulation facilitates H2O2 generation through the catalysis of the NADPH:quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1) enzyme overexpressed in cancer cells. Then, the elevated intracellular H2O2 level triggered the activation of the boronate moiety in the BDox prodrug subsequently, leading to an amplified drug release process. More importantly, the enhanced consumption of reduced NADPH and ATP in this process could mediate varied Pglycoprotein (P-gp)-related pathways to downregulate P-gp expression for preventing drug efflux and promoting nuclear transportation, thus overcoming MDR of cancer cells and improving the therapeutic efficiency of CDR. Such a H2O2-mediated CDR approach can be extended to 3D organic/inorganic bioresponsive implant for localized cancer therapy. Recently Gu et al. have reported two H2O2responsive hydrogels for combined chemotherapy/immunotherapy, by facilitating intratumoral release of chemotherapeutics and immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) inhibitor with distinct kinetics.447,448 In the first piece of work, a H2O2-active linker, N 1 -(4-boronobenzyl)-N 3 -(4-boronophenyl)N1,N1,N3,N3-tetramethylpropane-1,3-diaminium (TSPBA), was cross-linked with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to endow the asformed composite hydrogel with TME-responsive biodegradability, thus favoring the controlled release of gemcitabine (GEM) and antiprogrammed cell death-ligand 1 blocking antibody (aPDL1). GEM as a ribonucleotide reductase inhibitor can promote an immunogenic tumor phenotype, while aPDL1 enhances antitumor responses;449 thereby, the combination of them exerts a synergistic immunochemotherapeutic effect for the treatment of low-immunogenic tumors that are poorly responsive to ICB.

release within tumor. Moreover, Pei et al. took advantage of the H2O2-responsiveness of boronic ester bonds for intratumoral sequential release of Cyt c and Dox.434 Such a TME-mediated delivery strategy enables the precise control of the spatiotemporal exposure of chemodrugs in the tumor region, thus exerting a great therapeutic potential. Large numbers of nanoplatforms for H2O2-mediated CDR have been designed to cope with different tumor subpopulations for precision cancer therapy. For example, as one of the most common brain tumor subtypes in the central nervous system, glioblastoma features high malignancy and poor prognosis, and its therapy is severely hindered by the BBB435 and immunosuppressive TME [i.e., upregulation of immunosuppressive cytokine especially tumor growth factor β (TGFβ)].436 Qiao et al. first fabricated traceable composite nanoparticles with H2O2-responsiveness to favor simultaneous Temozolomide and small interfering RNA (siRNA) siTGF-β releases for immunochemotherapy of intracranial glioblastoma (Figure 43).437 The integrated angiopep-2 enables the

nanosystem to cross BBB and accumulate into the glioblastoma region, while intracellular H2O2 can oxidize the boronic acid group of poly[(2-acryloyl)ethyl(p-boronic acid benzyl)diethylammonium bromide] (BAP) to facilitate siTGF-β release for TME immunomodulation and chemotherapy enhancement. Such a synergistic immunochemotherapeutic platform by H2O2-mediated CDR and subsequent immunomodulation also provides much inspiration for researchers to design next-generation CDR nanoplatforms for precision cancer therapy. Comparatively, a small number of H2O2-responsive CDR nanoplatforms are based on inorganic redox-active materials. The most representative example is MnO2, which can be AN

In the other report, a triblock copolymer comprising a central PEG block flanked by two polypeptide blocks, which contains redox-active L-methionine (Me) and dextro-1-methyl tryptophan (D-1MT) (designated as P(Me-D-1MT)-PEG-P(Me-D1MT)), was used to fabricate an injectable H2O2-responsive gel depot for CDR (Figure 45).448 Excessive H2O2 in TME enables the oxidation of the sulfether group of Me into sulfoxide/ sulfone, facilitating the hydrophobicity transition of P(Me-D1MT)-PEG-P(Me-D-1MT) hydrogel for inner aPDL1 and D1MT release, thus pertinently inhibiting the immunoinhibitory ligand PD-L1 and suppressing immunosuppressive enzyme indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) activity for the enhance-

ment of cancer immunochemotherapy. In the two reports, these in situ formed hydrogels are capable of confining inner therapeutic moieties within polymer matrix to prevent the fast permeation of cargoes out of the tumor, while H2O2 activation facilitates the gradual hydrogel disintegration and sustained cargo release for modulating the kinetics of the CDR process. Inorganic composite scaffolds have also been explored with H2O2-responsiveness for CDR very recently. Different from hydrogel, these inorganic “hard” scaffolds were fabricated by engineering a layer of redox-active material on the surface of the scaffold to confer responsiveness.450,451 Wang et al. have modified Ni−Ti layered double hydroxide (LDH) film on the AO

mechanical strength threshold of the shell, the as-established nanosystems will collapse, accompanied by the O2 extrusion and drug molecules extraction. Here, H2O2 serves as the endogenous biochemical stimulus to activate these composite nanosystems with in situ morphological evolution for CDR. On account of the symmetric geometries of these CDR nanosystems, they are unable to travel for long distances because of counterbalanced stress distribution. Therefore, they could be applied for passive-targeted but on-demand drug release in the tumor region. As a typical paradigm, Chen et al. first encapsulated CAT and cisplatin into PLGA nanocapsules to fabricate a H2O2responsive symmetric nanoplatform for CDR (Figure 46a).453 When intratumoral H2O2 penetrates the PLGA shell and interacts with inner CAT, O2 is generated that facilitates the shell rupture of PLGA nanoparticles, which will accelerate the inner cisplatin release to induce cancer cell apoptosis. Additionally, the reoxygenation of TME can also be beneficial to attenuate hypoxia and overcome MDR, providing a complementary effect to augment the therapeutic performance of as-released cisplatin. Based on this work, these researchers also selected photosensitive MB molecules as model drugs and integrate them into such CAT-loaded symmetric PLGA nanoparticles for H2O2-activated catalytic O2 generation and MB release, thus to favor TME reoxygenation and PDT enhancement (Figure 46b).454

surface of nitinol alloy to fabricate a composite implant with H2O2 responsiveness for simultaneous tumor treatment and antibacterial therapy.452 The Ni2+ in the LDH film can react with intratumoral excessive H2O2 to generate hydroxyl ions (OH−), which will exchange with butyrate ions in the interlayer to facilitate cytotoxic butyrate release. In vitro and in vivo evaluations evidenced that such an LDH-engineered nitinol alloy implant could not only inhibit tumor growth and bacterial infection but also present relatively low toxicity to normal tissues, demonstrating the feasibility of the H2O2-responsive CDR implant to be applied as a robust platform for localized cancer chemotherapy. 3.5.2. CDR by Endogenous H2O2 Decomposition and O2 Generation. Type II ROS-mediated CDR is based on the catalytic H2O2 disproportionation in the presence of CAT or CAT-mimic nanozymes, to promote O2 generation and create a spatial pressure gradient, either for (1) facilitating the in situ rupture of an external shell and subsequent drug release (symmetric CDR nanosystems) or for (2) powering the nanocarrier motion and favoring targeted drug delivery (asymmetric CDR nanosystems). Such two CDR approaches can be implemented by the codelivery of CAT/nanozymes and chemodrugs within a single nanoformulation, providing an extra “driving force” to further facilitate drug release. The first approach is on the basis of the distinct pressure difference (ΔP) between the inner and outer sides of the shell upon catalytic O2 generation. When such a ΔP overwhelms the AP

compositional alteration (i.e., catalytic O2 generation and subsequent separation from the reaction system).458 Due to the asymmetric geometries of these CDR nanosystems, they are capable of rapid motion for long distances because of the asymmetric stress distribution that produces a net resultant force to overcome strong Brownian forces for self-propulsion, analogous to the rocket in the aircraft industry.459 These artificial self-propelled nanomachines can be referred as nanomotors, which have been extensively developed as an emerging research area in recent years.460−470

The second approach to power nanocarrier motion for targeted drug delivery is enabled by the sustained O2 extrusion from the asymmetric nanocarrier framework, endowing such a composite system with continuous recoil force and accelerated velocity of motion (based on the energy and momentum conservation laws when the reaction system is considered as a whole), finally to overcome the restriction of surrounding hydraulic resistance and tissular steric hindrance for improved tumor penetration and enhanced CDR effect.455−457 Here, H2O2 serves as the endogenous biological fuel to drive these nanosystems to the target region by initiating irreversible AQ

3.5.3. CDR by 1O2 Generation under Exogenous Activation of Physical Triggers. In a few of CDR nanosytems, exogenous physical interactions have also been applied as excitation sources to initiate ROS (generally 1O2) generation, and thus to favor subsequent ROS-responsive drug release (type III CDR).423 Such a CDR modality can be implemented by introducing additional active agents responsive to exogenous physical excitation (such as PSs and sonosensitizers) into the redox-sensitive nanosystems, thereby enabling exogenously controlled drug release within the tumor. For example, Zhou et al. recently fabricated an ROSactivatable Dox prodrug vesicle (RADV) that could respond to exogenous NIR irradiation for localized treatment of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (Figure 48).472 Such a nanosystem

was fabricated by integrating Dox prodrug PPC-TK-Dox, PEGylated PS pyropheophorbide-a (PPa-PEG), unsaturated 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC), and cholesterol into one single nanoformulation. The NIR laser irradiation initiates the photosensitization of PPa-PEG for 1O2 generation, which enables the PPC-TK-Dox (“OFF” state) oxidation and Dox-SH (“ON” state) release for localized chemotherapy. Moreover, these synthetic 1O2 species can also oxidize the unsaturated DOPC to improve the permeability of the lipid membrane, further accelerating Dox release. Cao et al. also constructed red-light-activated ROS-sensitive polymeric nanosystems for remote manipulation of CDR, via the selfassembly of ROS-sensitive polymer poly(thioketal phosphoester) (TK-PPE) with amphiphilic copolymer poly(ethylene AS

In addition to light, US has also been applied to assist 1O2 generation and subsequent redox-responsive drug release. Shi et al. first fabricated an US-triggered 1O2-generating CDR nanosystem by encapsulating docetaxel into an envelope-type mesoporous TiO2 nanoparticle, followed by β-cyclodextrin attachment on the surface to block the mesopores.477 Under US treatment, 1O2 can be generated via sonosensitization of mesoporous TiO2, leading to oxidative cleavage of thioketal linker and the subsequent liberation of the β-cyclodextrin gatekeeper, thus favoring inner docetaxel release.

Such a lighttriggered CDR modality with remote temporospatial operability provides a feasible clinical option for localized cancer chemotherapy.474,475 In these reports, the light-activated 1O2 generation is an oxygen-consuming process, which will lead to the formation of a localized hypoxic environment (synthetic hypoxia) and consequently the accentuated intrinsic oxygen deficit in TME (natural hypoxia).

The development of ROS-mediated CDR provides advanced tools to enable precise drug release within tumors based on the redox-responsiveness of nanomedicines (Table 5). It is expected that such an emerging therapeutic modality will play a more important role in improving the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy. 3.6. Synergistic Therapy

The diversity and complexity of tumors make it ever-difficult for humans to win in the long march against cancer.98,478,479 Despite the fact that enormous achievements in the fields of ROS science and oncology have been made in developing advanced redox therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment (PDT, SDT, RT, CDT, CDR), however, a single therapeutic modality may still not be competent enough to fully achieve our therapeutic expectations due to the predicament that the heterogeneous tumor tissue may contain specific cancer cell subpopulations that are resistant to the therapeutic effect of monotherapy.480 For example, although extensive efforts have been invested in designing applicable CDR nanoplatforms for precision cancer chemotherapy, MDR of tumor is still an unavoidable issue that largely compromises the effectiveness of chemotherapy.481,482 Radioresistance of solid tumors also undermines the therapeutic efficacy of ionizing radiation in clinical RT and leads to recurrence and even metastasis.310 Therefore, to overcome these obstacles in cancer treatment, the current trend in clinical oncological research has gradually shifted from concerns on monotherapy to multimodal synergistic therapy for improved treatment efficacy.98 Such a combined strategy is established on the recent advances in demonstrating the interdependent relationship between nanomaterials and their stimuli-responsive therapeutic effects that contribute to the gradual amalgamation of different therapeutic modalities, which can be elucidated based on the following considerations: (1) One single exogenous physical irradiation, or endogenous chemical stimuli, can initiate the simultaneous functioning of dual/trimodal therapeutic modalities. For instance, NIR laser irradiation is capable of initiating photosensitization of PSs-loaded UCNPs to facilitate ROS generation for deep PDT, as well as leading to localized hyperthermia of photoabsorbing agents with photothermal-conversion capabilities for PTT; moreover, such a localized redox upregulation or temperature elevation can also serve as chemical/physical trigger to facilitate drug release from nanocarriers for CDR.483 (2) A number of specific pristine nanomaterials with unique structural/compositional characteristics can also respond to multiple physicochemical activations for synergistic dual/ trimodal therapeutic modalities. For example, semiconducting BP nanosheets with unique band structure, high photothermal conversion efficiency, and negatively charged topological surface are able to respond to UV−vis, NIR, and pH for concurrent PDT, PTT, and tumor-specific CDR, respectively.484 (3) Cooperative augmentation between several specific monotherapies can lead to superadditive (namely “1 + 1 > 2”) therapeutic effects that are stronger than any monotherapy or their theoretical combination.98 Typically, PDT and RT are also capable of initiating immunoregulatory cascades in biosystems, which favors their combination with immunotherapy (i.e., photoimmunotherapy and radioimmunotherapy) for enhanced therapeutic outcome of cancer (Figure 50).160,485 Therefore, in this section, recent advances in nanotechnology-augmented multimodal synergistic therapy will be

Figure 50. ROS-based synergistic therapy. PDT and RT can not only facilitate intratumoral ROS generation by photosensitization and radiosensitization but also present immunostimulatory effects for remote and systemic anticancer immunomodulation. The combination of PDT/RT with immunostimulants in immunotherapy [e.g., toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands, cytokines, etc.] is an effective strategy to integrate their intrinsic individual merits (localized or systemic therapy) and common advantages (immunoregulatory effect) for significant superadditive therapeutic effects.

discussed in a comprehensive way to clarify their underlying mechanisms that underpin the significant improvements in cancer therapeutic outcomes. Given that CDR-involved synergistic therapy has been presented in the previous section, here we will concentrate on the four ROS-generating modalities (PDT, SDT, RT, and CDT)-based synergistic therapy as well as their corresponding multifunctional therapeutic nanomedicines, hopefully benefiting readers to have a better understanding on the joint efforts that have been made in the past few years in contributing to this evolving field. 3.6.1. PDT-Based Synergistic Therapy. As one of the most developed ROS-generating therapeutic modalities, PDT has been extensively explored to be integrated with other cancer therapeutic modalities (e.g., RT, PTT, CDR, immunotherapy, etc.) based on their interdependent relationships, either to overcome the intrinsic limitations of PDT (poor tissue penetration and severe oxygen reliance) in clinical applications or to provide a complementary effect for benefiting other therapeutic modalities and thus to achieve cooperative augmentation of therapeutic outcomes against cancer. Based on the recent developments in deep PDT that takes advantage of enhanced tissue-penetrability of light irradiations (e.g., NIR, X-ray) used in other therapeutic modalities (RT, PTT) for PSs activation, a combined strategy can be accomplished by one single engineered nanoplatform under one single irradiation. For example, we first integrated a scintillator (SCNP) with a semiconductor (ZnO) to fabricate a composite therapeutic nanosystem (SCNP@SiO2@ZnO-PEG) AU

artificial “nano-RBCs” for amplified synergistic deep PDT and PTT by one single NIR irradiation (Figure 51b).501 The asloaded IR780 in perfluorooctyl bromide nanoliposomes can act as both PS and photothermal agent under NIR excitation to favor PDT and PTT simultaneously based on its high 1O2 quantum yield and photothermal-conversion efficiency. Immunotherapy is gaining momentum in oncology,502−511 which orchestrates the body’s potent immune system to target and eradicate cancer cells, resulting in systemic and durable antitumor immunity.512,513 Given the intrinsic immunostimulatory nature of PDT, the two therapeutic modalities can be integrated together to augment immunotherapeutic effects. More importantly, the combination of exogenously triggered PDT with endogenously triggered immunotherapy integrates their individual advantages in both their intrinsic characteristics (PDT: localized and focused; immunotherapy: remote and systemic) and therapeutic mechanisms (PDT: ROS generation for chemical tumor destruction, immunotherapy: immune responses for biological tumor eradication), finally elevating the ultimate systematic therapeutic efficacy of cancer. A preclinical study in 2015 first indicated that PDT in conjunction with synthetic long peptide vaccination could result in tumor eradication by favoring the local tumor ablation and the systemic CD8+ T cell response.514 Subsequently, Xu et al. constructed a UCNP-based composite nanosystem (UCNPCe6-R837 nanoparticle) in combination with cytotoxic Tlymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) checkpoint blockade for synergistic PDT and immunotherapy of colorectal cancer (Figure 51c).515 The photodynamic effect by NIR-

for X-ray-activated RT and deep PDT with diminished oxygen dependence (Figure 51a).486 Under X-ray irradiation, the downconverted UV fluorescence from the SCNP core initiates the formation of electron−hole pairs in semiconducting ZnO coatings, facilitating subsequent cytotoxic •OH generation (PDT) independent of intratumoral oxygen level. Moreover, the intrinsic strong X-ray attenuation capability of the high-Z element (such as Ce) in SCNP also favors ROS generation for inducing radiation damage of tumor (RT). Such an integration between RT and PDT in one single therapeutic process is able to overcome their inherent shortcomings in parallel, such as tissue penetration limitation and oxygen dependence in PDT, as well as radioresistance of tumor in RT, presenting a complementary effect for improving the therapeutic efficacy of cancer. In addition to X-ray, NIR can also initiate parallel therapeutic processes: PDT and PTT. As a compelling therapeutic modality with low cost and mitigated side effects, PTT has been extensively investigated in recent years, promoted by a blooming growth in the number of photoabsorbing agents with desirable photothermal-conversion performances for efficient hyperthermia ablation of tumor.487−496 The synchronous initiations of PDT and PTT by one single NIR irradiation can be achieved by taking advantage of their therapeutic mechanisms that are different from but complementary with each other in contributing to the ultimate antineoplastic effect, i.e., ROS-induced oxidative stress (chemical mechanism) and hyperthermia-induced tumor ablation (physical mechanism).497−500 We recently reported a mitochondria-targeted AV

ROS generated in the PDT process can not only elevate intracellular oxidative stress for directly exerting a therapeutic effect but also act as an active intermediate to initiate a second chemical cascade for benefitting CDR.517 Therefore, the combination of PSs and chemodrugs in one single ROSresponsive nanoformulation enables the cooperation between PDT and CDR for stepwise cancer therapy, where the photoexcited ROS in the first step favors subsequent drug release in the second step. As a typical paradigm, Spring et al. introduced a photoactivable multi-inhibitor-loaded nanoliposome (PMIL) that confers photocytotoxicity as well as the suppression of treatment escape pathways (Figure 52).518

Exogenous NIR light activates benzoporphyrin derivative (BPD) to generate ROS within tumor microvasculature and parenchyma, which favors sustained release of cabozantinib (XL184) for the inhibitions of both VEGF and MET signaling pathways. An alternative work by Yang et al. took advantage of the photosensitization of Ce6 to favor ROS-induced nanocarrier disintegration and subsequent Dox release, providing a complementary chemotherapeutic effect for enhancing the PDT outcome.519 Moreover, Kim and his co-workers constructed two nanosystems for synergistic PDT/CDR, by taking advantage of 1O2-mediated disassembly of core−shell nanosystems in the presence of visible light to facilitate 1O2 and Dox release.520,521 The previous section on light-triggered, ROS-mediated cancer CDR (3.5.3) has also discussed the synergy between the two therapeutic modalities for improving the therapeutic efficacy. Considering that PDT is an oxygen-consuming process, hypoxic TME modulation by reoxygenation is highly desired to

guarantee its ROS generating efficiency and downstream therapeutic effect. Moreover, for other therapeutic modalities such as RT and chemotherapy, where hypoxia leads to radioresistance/chemoresistance that may compromise their therapeutic outcome, TME modulation to attenuate hypoxia is also a feasible approach to significantly enhance their therapeutic responses.311,441 Therefore, when PDT is integrated with RT and/or chemotherapy for synergistic cancer therapy, the single reoxygenation of TME will favor the simultaneous enhancement of multiple paralleled therapeutic processes. For example, MnO2 as a typical self-sacrificing O2elevating agent can respond to acidic H2O2 in TME for in situ O2 generation.522 We first integrated MnO2 nanosheets with UCNPs to take advantage of such a chemical characteristic for concurrent pH-/H2O2-responsive O2-elevating synergetic PDT/RT (Figure 53a).523 In this work, indirect ROS transformation took place from pathologic H2O2 to intermediate O2 by MnO2, and to cytotoxic 1O2 by PDT/RT AX

such two paralleled therapeutic processes simultaneously, i.e., sonochemistry for initiating SDT, and the other physical effects for enhancing chemotherapy. More importantly, a significant piece of research in 2013 revealed that SDT could enhance chemotherapy response by facilitating cellular internalization of chemodrugs, activating mitochondrial apoptotic pathways and upregulating the expressions of ATP-binding cassette transporters such as P-gp.526 Thus, the combination of SDT with chemotherapy is highly recommended for future clinical translation based on their simultaneous and cooperative functioning. In light of such a synergy, Wan et al. fabricated HP and Dox coloaded nanomicelles for concurrent SDT/chemotherapy of MDR human breast cancer.527 After US treatment, ROS could be generated via sonosensitization of HP to induce mitochondrial damage and subsequent Cyt c release, which is capable of activating apoptosis pathways. Additionally, the P-gp level could also be upregulated in this process to overcome MDR for enhancing chemotherapy. In an alternative work, Liu et al. also utilized such a multifunctional nanosystem for synergistic treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),528 one of the deadliest malignancies worldwide in recent years.529 Recently, we constructed a biodegradable nanoplatform to integrate SDT and chemotherapy for synergistic HCC treatment, by covalently anchoring PpIX within the mesopore of HMONs, followed by Dox loading for chemotherapeutic effect (Figure 54).249 The exogenous US excitation enables efficient 1O2 generation to impart oxidative damage on tumors, while the endogenous GSH interaction favors biodegradation of HMONs for intratumoral Dox release. Synergistic inhibition on HCC growth has been manifested both in vitro and in vivo (84.7% inhibition rate), demonstrating the synergistic effect between SDT and chemotherapy. Temperature elevation of biological tissues is an additional and immediate effect of US, which can be further enhanced by sudden collapse of bubbles in an inertial cavitation process.237

treatments. Such a synergy of endogenous H2O2 initiation for TME modulation and exogenous NIR/X-ray excitation for synergetic ROS generation contributes to the significant augmentation of ultimate therapeutic efficacy. Moreover, Chen et al. also utilized MnO2-based nanoparticles as pH-/H2O2-responsive dissociable agents to modulate tumor hypoxia for enhancing PDT/chemotherapy (Figure 53b).524 They successfully encapsulated Ce6, cisplatinum prodrug c,t,c-[Pt(NH3)2-(O2CCH2CH2COOH)(OH)Cl2] (cis-Pt(IV)SA), and biomineralized MnO2 nanoparticles into human serum albumin (HSA) to fabricate an intelligent multifunctional HSA-MnO2−Ce6&Pt (HMCP) nanoplatform for optimized antitumor effect. The inner MnO2 component can be disintegrated by intratumoral acidic H2O2, which not only facilitates massive O2 generation to attenuate hypoxia and benefit photodynamic ROS generation but also favors gradual dissociation of these synthetic nanoparticles into individual albumin particles of sub-10 nm in diameter for improved intratumoral diffusion and enhanced chemotherapy. Inspired by this work, Yao et al. constructed CeO2-based nanomedicine to modulate TME and enhance synergistic PDT/chemotherapy.525 3.6.2. SDT-Based Synergistic Therapy. As an emerging redox-regulating therapeutic modality, SDT has also been integrated with other therapeutic protocols, such as chemotherapy and US hyperthermia, for cooperative augmentation of anticancer efficacy. Such a combined strategy is based on the versatility of US, whose multiplicity in the interactions with tissues makes these US-mediated therapeutic modalities capable of integrating with each other. For example, acoustic cavitation by US treatment can lead to several downstream effects in addition to sonochemistry, such as acoustic streaming, shock waves, and liquid microjets, which will facilitate the tissue penetration of chemodrugs (an effect termed sonophoresis).237 Therefore, when SDT is integrated with chemotherapy for synergistic cancer therapy, one single US treatment can favor AY

thus favoring the ROS-generating process; (4) the immunoregulatory potential of SDT can also be explored in detail, which may be developed as combined SDT/immunotherapy if the immunomodulation effect of SDT is potent enough to exert therapeutic effects. On account of the deeper tissue penetration of US than that of light, SDT as an emerging redox-regulating therapeutic modality will play a more significant role in nextgeneration cancer treatment. 3.6.3. RT-Based Synergistic Therapy. The clinical outcome of RT is still not satisfactory enough to make it an optimal cancer treatment option, as a result of its ineffectiveness against hypoxic solid tumors and distant metastases, which seriously restrict the ever-broader application of RT. Nanotechnology has provided unprecedented opportunities to overcome such a predicament by, for example, integrating other therapeutic modalities with RT to provide complementary effects for improving therapeutic efficacy while mitigating side effects. Generally, these combinations for synergy in RT-involved combinational therapeutic outcomes can be summarized as the following three strategies: The first strategy is integrating RT with chemotherapy to overcome the radioresistance of malignancies. Chemotherapy has been evidenced to be capable of inhibiting the self-repair of damaged DNA during RT, as well as promoting cell polarization toward the radiosensitive phenotype.295 Therefore, such a cooperation between chemotherapy and RT can significantly improve the therapeutic efficacy of cancer.531 In our early work in 2013, a rattle-structured multifunctional nanosystem was fabricated by loading cisplatin into UCNP@ SiO2 nanoparticles for synergetic RT/chemotherapy.303 Here, cisplatin was applied both as a chemodrug and as a radiosensitizer to confer enhanced therapeutic performance. In vivo experiments on HeLa-tumor-beared balb/c nude mice further demonstrated that the as-designed nanosystem could provide higher therapeutic efficacy than the individual therapeutic protocols. Moreover, Song et al. constructed an all-in-one therapeutic nanoplatform based on hollow TaOx for simultaneous drug delivery and enhanced RT. 295 The mesoporous shells and large cavities of hollow TaOx guarantee the efficient loading of 7-ethyl-10-hydroxy-camptothecin (SN38), a hydrophobic chemotherapeutic drug, to favor the chemotherapeutic process and RT augmentation. By means of radiosensitization of a high-Z Ta element to deposit X-ray energy inside tumors, as well as SN38-induced cell cycle arrest into a radiation-sensitive phenotype, such a composite nanoplatform also presented remarkable synergistic therapeutic outcomes both in vitro and in vivo. The second one is integrating RT with PTT to overcome hypoxia-associated radioresistance by facilitating TME reoxygenation. As discussed in the previous section, the mild hyperthermia during PTT is capable of boosting blood flow into tumor tissue, resulting in elevated O2 level and mitigated hypoxia-associated radioresistance.293,532 In the past several years, large amounts of nanosystems with both X-rayattenuation capability and photothermal-conversion performance, have been designed for simultaneous RT/PTT. We first constructed a core/satellite nanoplatform for combined RT and PTT in 2013, by decorating ultrasmall CuS nanoparticles onto the surface of silica-coated UCNPs.302 Such an engineered nanosystem could not only convert NIR into heat efficiently based on the photothermal property of CuS533−535 but also induce a localized radiation energy deposition by the high-Z Yb, Gd, and Er in UCNPs to favor ROS generation. In vivo

Therefore, the augmentation of inertial cavitation in a tumor region by means of, for example, introducing gas-generating nanomaterials into the US-triggered reaction system can not only facilitate sonodynamic ROS generation for enhanced SDT efficiency (sonochemistry) but also favor localized hyperthermia for improved tumor ablation (accompanied thermodynamics). The integration of sonosensitizer with gas-generating nanomaterials within one single nanosystem is a feasible approach to make use of the inertial cavitation effect for the cooperative enhancements of the two therapeutic modalities. As a typical paradigm, Feng et al. first constructed a pH/US dualresponsive gas generator for simultaneous augmentation of US hyperthermia (in this work referred to as therapeutic inertial cavitation) and SDT (Figure 55).530 Such a nanosystem was

fabricated by loading HMME into mesoporous calcium carbonate (MCC) nanoparticles, followed by the surface modification of HA. The collaborative effect between exogenous US and endogenous mild acidic TME enables MCC degradation and CO2 release, which can not only result in cell necrosis and the blood vessel destruction by localized hyperthermia (physical mechanism) but also augment the sonosensitization of HMME to facilitate ROS generation for oxidative damage on tumor tissues (chemical mechanism).

For example, (1) numbers of PSs can also respond to US for sonodynamic ROS generation, which can also be explored as sonosensitizers; (2) analogous to light, USs with different frequencies may also lead to varied physicochemical effects (such as sonophoresis, hyperthermia, thrombolysis, etc.), which can be utilized to integrate with SDT for US-triggered synergistic therapy; (3) TME modulation strategy can be utilized to rectify the oxygen deficit of TME, AZ

function of RT for effective mobilization of antitumor immunity. Although radiation alone is rarely sufficient to arouse potent enough immunomodulatory effect for systemic tumor rejection, the integration of radiotherapy with immunotherapy is capable of favoring their cooperative augmentations for enhanced therapeutic efficiency. However, nonsynchronous dosing regimens between RT and immunotherapy are still one of the main challenges in eliciting their optimal synergy. Recently, two pioneering reports have successfully constructed feasible therapeutic platforms to combine RT and immunotherapy for achieving whole-body antitumor effect after local treatment. Lu et al. first took advantage of low-dose X-rayactivated RT and PDT (in this work referred as radiodynamic therapy, RDT) to enhance checkpoint blockade immunotherapy via engineered nanoscale MOFs (Figure 58).299 They fabricated two Hf-based nano MOFs, 5,15-di(p-benzoato)porphyrin-Hf (DBP-Hf) and 5,10,15,20-tetra(p-benzoato)porphyrin-Hf (TBP-Hf), for evaluating their therapeutic potency. The crystalline structures of the two nanosystems guarantee the high densities of PSs, which can be directly excited by low-dose X-ray. The high-Z Hf clusters in the framework of MOFs possess strong X-ray attenuation capabilities, enabling the efficient energy conversion to favor RT via the production of •OH and deep PDT by photosensitization-induced 1O2 generation. The researchers further loaded an indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase inhibitor (IDOi) into the pore channels of DBP-Hf, for the integration of RT and PDT with immunotherapy. On account of the intrinsic immunomodulatory performances of RT and PDT, the triple therapeutic modalities can be developed in parallel for the

experiments indicated that with the cooperative interaction between PTT and enhanced RT, tumors could be eradicated without visible recurrence within 120 days. Song et al. fabricated core−shell MnSe@Bi2Se3 “nanobullet” to impart synergistic RT/PTT.294 In this hierarchical architecture, Bi2Se3 shell with both strong absorbance of Xray and NIR favors the synergy between RT and PTT for enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Moreover, in another paradigm, Guo et al. fabricated bovine serum albumin (BSA)-coated bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI)@Bi2S3 semiconductor heterojunction nanoparticles (SHNPs) for RT/PDT/PTT synergistic therapy against cancer (Figure 56).286 BiOI acts as both radiosensitizer and PS for concurrent RT and PDT, owing to its high-Z elements of Bi and I for X-ray attenuation and its semiconductor nature favoring the electron−hole pair generation. In addition, the external Bi2S3 coating enables the formation of a heterojunction structure to prevent the electron−hole recombination for efficient ROS generation. More importantly, PTT with intrinsic O2-elevating capability can be further used to mitigate hypoxia and consequently augment RT and PDT, simultaneously. The cooperative augmentation effects among the three therapeutic modalities may present a promising therapeutic approach for tumor therapy in the future. The third strategy is integrating RT with immunotherapy for simultaneous local and remote tumor management. Recent evidence shows that ionizing radiation can be immunomodulatory by altering the microenvironment of the irradiated region (Figure 57).485,536−539 This momentous demonstration has created a wave of interest among oncologists, therapists, and chemists, to take advantage of such a unique immunological BA

I-CAT but also effectively traps 131I-CAT to circumvent their excessive leakage to normal tissue. The intrinsic enzymatic activity of CAT facilitates the decomposition of overexpressed H2O2 in TME to generate O2, which is capable of relieving hypoxia to favor IRT with a quite low radioisotope dose. More importantly, the introduction of CpG oligonucleotide favors the intratumoral generation of tumor-associated antigens, leading to strong systemic antitumor responses. Such a combined approach offers a remarkable synergistic effect to inhibit remote metastatic tumors, which can also provide long-term immune memory to prevent tumor recurrence. 3.6.4.

optimization of therapeutic outcomes. By combining the complementary advantages of local treatment and systemic tumor rejection, this strategy presents a great potential to significantly increase the therapeutic efficacy of metastatic tumors. Moreover, Chao et al. have also combined a local immunostimulatory IRT and systemic CTLA-4 checkpoint blockade to impart potent antitumor responses very recently.540 They integrated CAT and CpG oligonucleotide with sodium alginate to fabricate a multifunctional platform for favoring IRT and immunotherapy simultaneously. In this work, 131I was applied to label CAT and serve as an internal excitation source in IRT. After intratumoral administration of the prepared 131ICat/alginate solution, the physiological Ca2+ will trigger in situ rapid gelation of alginate within tumors, which not only guarantees intratumoral homogeneous distribution of inner BB

phototherapies, as well as the remote and systemic features of CDT, their integration makes them complementary with each other to significantly enhance the antineoplastic effect. We recently prepared antiferromagnetic pyrite as TME-responsive nanoplatform for self-enhanced synergistic PTT/CDT (Figure 59).542 Under the activation of H2O2 in acidic TME, antiferromagnetic pyrite undergoes in situ surface oxidation and consequent Fe valence elevation, accompanied by significant enhancement of catalytic performance, during which its identification transforms from initial noncatalytic substance to highly efficient Fenton nanocatalyst to favor the decomposition of intratumoral H2O2 and the generation of • OH for TME-specific CDT. Moreover, the localized hyperthermia by photothermal process can also accelerate the Fenton reaction, thus augmenting CDT for a synergistic therapeutic outcome. Liu et al. also fabricated biocompatible copper ferrite nanospheres (CFNs) as an “all in one” platform for CDT/ PDT/PTT synergistic therapy (Figure 60).391 Cytotoxic •OH and O2•− will be produced as a consequence of photo-

totally spontaneous reaction in CDT may lead to nondeterminacy in ultimate therapeutic effect on account of the complex and dynamic features of TME. Thus, exogenous intervention is desired to assist temporospatial control of such a spontaneous therapeutic process for improved therapeutic outcome. In the previous section, we have elucidated that exogenous physical irradiations, such as light and US, can be used to control/regulate a Fenton-based catalytic ROSgenerating process; here, we concentrate on the integration of CDT with physical-irradiation-triggered therapeutic modalities, such as PTT and PDT, which provide controllable and complementary effects for the optimization of the treatment outcome. As discussed above, light of certain wavelengths may promote Fenton reactions for enhanced •OH-generating efficiency.541 Thus, the introduction of phototherapies (PTT/ PDT) is capable of augmenting the therapeutic performance of CDT, resulting in a superadditive effect.

IONP-based nanosystems for superadditive therapeutic effect. It is highly expected that more progress will be made in the future by taking advantage of the dual-functions of IONP (catalytic activity and immunoregulatory effect) for the cooperative augmentation of anticancer outcome. Synergistic therapy harbors the collective merits of and the synergetic effects among individual therapeutic modalities to yield much stronger therapeutic effects than their linear combinations. In the past decade, extensive efforts have been invested in the fabrication of synergistic therapeutic platforms to integrate different ROS-generating/responsive therapeutic modalities (PDT, SDT, RT, CDT, CDR), or with other therapeutic modalities (PTT, immunotherapy, gene therapy, etc.) for more potent antineoplastic performances based on their varied but intertwined therapeutic mechanisms (Table 6). In view of the increasingly severe status of cancer across the world, we are obliged to acquire a better understanding of the intrinsic characteristics of each ROS-based therapeutic modality (Table 7) and determine to what extent and in what ways the combined therapeutic approaches are significantly advantageous over discrete steps of monotherapies. At present, advances in ROS-based cancer therapeutics are still confined in academic settings.544 However, we believe that the persistent developments of ROS science and oncology will further benefit the optimization of antitumor performance of nanomedicines to win the campaign against cancer.

generation of electron−hole pairs in CFNs (type I PDT). In addition, the coupling between two redox pairs (Fe2+/Fe3+ and Cu+/Cu2+) in CFNs accelerates •OH generation through Fenton and Fenton-like reactions, which can be further enhanced by localized hyperthermia under 650 nm laser illumination. The cooperative enhancements of CDT, PDT, and PTT by such a designed nanosystem provide us with more advanced tools for the amplification of the anticancer therapeutic effect. A recent breakthrough in immunology indicates that IONPs are capable of inhibiting tumor growth by promoting proinflammatory macrophage polarization in tumor tissues.543 In this work, researchers suggested that IONPs could be applied as an “off label” to protect liver from metastatic seeds attack and potentiate immunotherapies. According to the intrinsic Fentonlike activity of IONPs in acidic TME, this report inspires researchers to integrate CDT with immunotherapy by utilizing

Such a biological pleiotropy of ROS suggests that we may be able to conceive proper redox-regulating strategies (promote ROS depletion or foster ROS production) to cope with specific circumstances for therapeutic applications.567 In the above sections, we have elucidated diverse ROSupregulating strategies for antineoplastic therapy assisted by redox-active nanoplatforms and here, an overview on the nanomedicine-guided redox-regulating therapeutic strategies against other pathological abnormalities will be provided, from ROS-scavenging/responsive nanoplatforms for the treatment of brain diseases (e.g., neurodegenerative diseases, ischemic stroke), inflammatory diseases (e.g., periodontal disease, intestinal inflammation), and cardiovascular diseases (e.g., myocardial infarction) to subsequent ROS-generating nanosystems with varied functional mechanisms for antibacterial applications.

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD), have been becoming a focus in neuropathology due to their increasing morbidity and mortality.568 Although still controversial, increasing numbers of sound research have evidenced that excessive generation of ROS contributes to the neurodegeneration.569−571 For example, elevated ROS levels would lead to the dysregulation of intracellular Ca2+ signaling that induces an apoptotic cascade (such as excitotoxic response).572 The biogenesis of these excessive ROS can be attributed to the endogenous transitionmetal dyshomeostasis in brain as the consequence of normal aging progression (Figure 61).573−575 The upregulated levels of redox-active metals, such as Cu and Fe, could lead to BE

zymes) to scavenge excessive ROS in brain for antioxidative therapy; and (3) constructing feasible nanoplatforms as metal chelators to modulate the upstream metal−protein interactions (such as Cu with Aβ) for inhibiting ROS overproduction. In the following sections, we will discuss the recent advances in the elaborate design of advanced nanomedicines for favoring neuroprotective therapy. 4.1.1. ROS-Responsive Nanoplatforms To Facilitate Neuroprotective Drug Release. Analogous to cancer CDR, neuroprotective therapy can also take advantage of pathological ROS (especially H2O2) as endogenous biochemical stimuli to activate redox-responsive nanomedicines for site-specific drug release. However, on account of the intrinsic biological characteristics of brain that are totally different from tumor, the basic design rationales for the fabrication of neuroprotective nanosystems are supposed to be reconsidered: (1) As the exclusive biological barrier, the BBB can protect the brain from the attack of extrinsic potentially harmful compounds and therefore, unfortunately, prevent intracephalic accumulation of as-administrated nanoparticles, largely compromising their downstream therapeutic effect.599 Thus, rational design of nanoformulations by means of, for example, tailoring them with ultrasmall particle size, is the prerequisite to confer enhanced possibility to cross such a biological barrier for an improved therapeutic efficiency. (2) Nanoparticles with unique size effect can target the tumor region passively and spontaneously by endogenetic EPR effect in tumor microvascular systems. However, such an innate biophysical mechanism does not exist in brain due to their distinct structural differences from each other. Therefore, targeting modification on the surface of nanomedicines is also indispensable for guaranteeing their effective intracephalic accumulation and subsequent antioxidative performance. As a typical paradigm, Hu et al. constructed an H2O2responsive magnetic composite nanoplatform for AD treatment, by decorating Congo red and Rutin on the surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Congo red/Rutin-MNPs, Figure 62).600 Assisted by the intrinsic biological feature that neuroinflammation during AD can compromise the BBB and favor extrinsic agent penetration,601 such a well-designed composite therapeutic nanosystem with ultrasmall particle size is able to

hypermetalation of proteins, increasing the probability of undesired ROS generation.576−578 The ROS-involved pathogenesis for specific neurodegenerative disorders is diversified.11 In AD, the major source of intracephalic oxidative stress is from the metabolism of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ), which possesses histidine residues to favor its coordination with transition metal ions such as Cu2+ or Fe3+.579−582 In this process, the valences of transition metals will be reduced to catalyze the generation of H2O2 from dissolved O2 molecules.571 Specifically, the reduction potential of Cu2+ to Cu+ in the presence of Aβ42 is highly positive,11 conferring a high reactivity for such a reduction process. Moreover, the generated H2O2 can be further decomposed into highly toxic •OH by Fenton-like reactions in the presence of Cu+, resulting in accentuated neurotoxicity.11,583,584 Comparatively, in PD, the major protein component related to pathogenicity is α-synuclein,585 which plays a vital role in modulating the intracellular equilibrium of dopamine.52 As an essential neurotransmitter, dopamine can also serve as a good metal chelator to coordinate and reduce Cu2+ and Fe3+,11 resulting in the formation of neuromelanin and •OH.586−588 Additionally, neuromelanin will also coordinate Fe and further produce cytotoxic ROS.589,590 Such a dopamine-induced ROS generation can be regulated by α-synuclein,591,592 and mutations in this protein will lead to the elevated intracellular oxidative stress and downstream neural dysfunctions.593,594 In addition to neurodegenerative diseases, ischemic stroke is also one of the leading brain diseases in which overexpressed ROS are responsible for causing neuron injury.595 It has been demonstrated that, after reperfusion, ROS will be upregulated in the ischemic site, leading to the oxidative damage on neurocytes for cell apoptosis.596−598 Based on ever-deeper elucidations on ROS-related pathogeneses of neurodegenerative diseases and ischemic stroke, in recent years, large numbers of ROS-based nanotherapeutic strategies have been developed to cope with these neural dysfunctions for neuroprotective therapy. In general, these strategies can be categorized into three typical methodologies: (1) designing ROS-responsive nanomedicines for controlled release of neuroprotective drugs specifically at pathological sites; (2) fabricating catalytic nanomaterials (such as inorganic nanoBG

functionalized with boronic ester and an RBC membrane shell engineered with stroke homing peptide, presenting prolonged circulation lifetime and enhanced targeting efficiency. After internalization by ischemic neurons, the intracellular H2O2 will activate boronic ester to facilitate the disintegration of nanocarrier and the release of inner neuroprotective agent, lys-leu-ser-ser-ileglu-ser-asp-val (NR2B9C), which can selectively disrupt the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) with the postsynaptic density protein (PSD-95) to prevent the overproduction of toxic NO.

improved biological behaviors,603 further promoting the application of nanomedicines in neuroprotective therapy. 4.1.2. Catalytic Depletion of Excess ROS by Enzymatic Reactions. In addition to the aforementioned strategy, direct delivery of catalytic ROS-scavenging nanosystems is also a feasible approach to downregulate intracephalic oxidative stress for a detoxification effect. Recent advances in enzymology have provided effective tools to scavenge intracephalic ROS, and specifically, a number of inorganic nanozymes with intrinsic antioxidative capacities have also been developed as therapeutic agents for neuroprotection, among which CeO2 is the most prominent one.604,605 On account of the SOD and CAT-like activities of CeO2 nanoparticles that confer intrinsic sequential ROS-scavenging performances (i.e., from O2•− to H2O2 to H2O), such an active nanomaterial is promising to be applied for antioxidative therapy of brain diseases. An early phenomenological study in 2006 by Schubert et al. first reported the neuroprotective activity of CeO2 in HT22 cells.606 In a significant work in 2012, Kim et al. further demonstrated the protective effects of PEGylated CeO2 nanoparticles against ischemic stroke in living animals (Figure 63a).607 They pointed out that brain ischemia could lead to the breakdown of the BBB, favoring the penetration of CeO2 nanoparticles into the brain. Inspired by this work, we recently fabricated a CeO2-based composite nanosystem for improved therapeutic efficiency, by engineering PEG, angiopep-2, and edaravone on the surface of CeO2 nanoparticles.608 The loaded edaravone provides a complementary antioxidative effect to that of CeO2 nanoparticles for downregulating the oxidative stress in both the BBB and the intracephalic pathological region, while angiopep-2 serves as a targeting ligand that can bind to the LRP overexpressed on cells of the BBB, facilitating active BBB crossing of the as-fabricated nanosystem, finally resulting in high accumulation in intracerebral lesions for ischemic stroke treatment. The investigation of CeO2 nanoparticles in the treatment of ischemic stroke also benefits their applications in coping with other neural abnormalities, such as AD. Given mitochondrial dysfunction is a key pathologic factor in AD that initiates excessive ROS generation and leads to neuronal cell death, Kwon et al. designed a CeO2-based nanoplatform with mitochondria-targeting capability for mitigating mitochondrial oxidative stress in AD treatment (Figure 63b).609 They engineered CeO2 nanoparticles with triphenylphosphonium (TPP), a lipophilic cation that can target mitochondria via electrostatic adsorption. Enhanced mitochondrial localization and neuronal death suppression were evidenced in a 5XFAD transgenic AD mouse model, demonstrating the feasibility of such a subcellular targeting strategy. Recent studies have shown that the tau pathway is closely associated with development of AD, which provides a potential therapeutic target.610−612 In light of this, Chen et al. prepared tau-targeted multifunctional nanocomposite for combinational therapy of AD (Figure 63c).613 They integrated CeO2 nanoparticles, IONPs, 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid (NOTA)-T807, and MB on the surface of MSNs, to endow such an “all in one” composite nanoplatform (CeNC/ IONC/MSN-T807-MB) with remarkable versatility for improved AD nanotherapy. T807 possesses a high binding affinity to hyperphosphorylated tau, favoring the active targeting, while the intrinsic sequential catalytic ROS-scavenging capability of CeO2 facilitates the downregulation of mitochondrial ROS level. Moreover, the simultaneous MB release enables the

inhibition of hyperphosphorylated tau aggregation, exerting a synergistic therapeutic effect. A recent report showed that CeO2 nanoparticles could modulate the phenotypic polarization of microglia for neuroprotection,614 further evidencing that such a nanozyme is capable of exerting significant therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of brain diseases. In addition to CeO2, other inorganic nanozymes with intrinsic antioxidative activity have also been explored as therapeutic agents for neuroprotection. Zhang et al. first demonstrated that Fe3O4 nanoparticles with CAT-like activity in intracerebral microenvironment are capable of scavenging excessive H2O2 to antagonize oxidative stress and ameliorate neurodegeneration in drosophila AD model.615 On account of the peroxidase-like activity of Fe3O4 in acidic TME that facilitates •OH generation for cancer CDT, such a discovery may enable the combination of glioblastoma treatment and neuroprotection based on the spatiotemporal pH variation of brain and downstream different catalytic activities of Fe3O4. In addition, Ren et al. reported that graphene oxide (GO) quantum dots could reduce oxidative stress and inhibit neurotoxicity through CAT-like activity.616 Increased Nissl bodies were visualized in the brains of larval zebrafishes pretreated with GO quantum dots, confirming the potent antioxidative activity of GO in mitigating neurotoxicity. Organic nanosystems have also been explored as neuroprotective agents in parallel owing to their desirable biocompatibility and biodegradability compared with inorganic nanomaterials. An early work in 2008 by Reddy et al. reported that SOD-loaded PLGA nanoparticles can protect cultured human neurons from oxidative stress. 617 The PLGA encapsulation not only protects inner SOD from exogenic turbulence during intravascular delivery but also favors the neuronal uptake for enhanced therapeutic efficacy. This work inspired researchers to take advantage of recent advances in the smart design of multifunctional nanocarriers, to enable efficient delivery of natural enzymes for enhanced neuroprotective effect. Specifically, exosomes, which are small membrane vesicles secreted by most cells, have recently been developed as robust natural nanocarriers to deliver antioxidative enzymes or their precursors (e.g., mRNA) to recipient cells for neuroprotective therapy, based on their unique endogenous functionalities such as target-homing specificity, immunosurveillance, and BBB crossing capability.618−625 Recently, Kojima et al. engineered HEK-293T cells with genetic devices to facilitate the secretion of exosomes with biopharmaceuticalencoding mRNA that can express CAT in Neuro2A cells for PD treatment (Figure 64).626 These as-secreted multifunctional exosomes serve as versatile nanoplatforms to favor targeted exosomal mRNA delivery and subsequent CAT expression, presenting a promising strategy for efficient neuroprotection. The above organic nanosystems take advantage of artificial/ natural nanocarriers to endow inner functional molecules (i.e., enzymes and mRNA precursors) with improved biostability and BBB penetrability. Based on the nanosynthetic chemistry, natural biopolymers can also be directly tailored as catalytic nanoparticles for neuroprotective therapy. Liu et al. recently prepared melanin nanoparticles as robust antioxidants to protect ischemic brain from ROS-induced damage.627 In this work, they demonstrated that such a pristine catalytic nanosystem presents broad antioxidative activities against multiple ROS including O2•−, H2O2, and •OH, displaying superiority over most natural antioxidant enzymes that are only capable of scavenging one specific type of ROS.

homeostasis, targeting such interactions by delivering metal chelators to compete with target protein for metal ion capture will be applicable to inhibit the deleterious effects of aberrant metal concentrations. This strategy, which takes advantage of exogenous chelating agents to disrupt the abnormal metal− protein interaction for normalizing metal distribution, is capable of inhibiting the toxic cycle (i.e., ROS generation) for significantly improved therapeutic outcome. To design a potent metal chelator, the material should be able to efficiently capture the active metal dispersed in the intracerebral microenvironment to form a nontoxic metal complex. Moreover, BBB penetrability is also the basic criterion for the success of metal chelators to cross the well-formed tight junctions and exert their ultimate therapeutic effects. Numbers of nanomaterials have been evidenced to show copper-chelating capability for neuroprotection.11 On account of the dominant role of copper dyshomeostasis in the pathogenesis of AD, such a “copper chelation” strategy presents a significant therapeutic effect in the regulation of oxidative stress.628 As a typical paradigm, Gao et al. first fabricated POMbased multifunctional nanozyme with protease activity, SODlike functionality, and Cu2+ chelation capability for synergistic AD treatment.629 In this study, POM, octa-peptide, and LPFFD peptide were decorated on Au nanoparticles to fabricate such a composite catalytic nanosystem based on the conventional Au− S chemistry. Au nanoparticles not only facilitate electron transfer between POM and the hepta-peptides but also serve as robust nanocarriers for BBB penetration. POM with WellsDawson structure (POMD) inhibits the in vitro aggregation of Aβ, presenting protease-like activities, while LPFFD peptide targets Aβ specifically for improving intracerebral accumulation. Moreover, the as-decorated hepta-peptides (stemming from

of ischemic stroke, they further demonstrated that the administration of PEGylated melanin nanoparticles could lead to a significant decrease of infarct area, evidencing the feasibility of such organic nanoparticles as efficient therapeutic antioxidants for neuroprotection. 4.1.3. “Copper Chelation” Strategy To Assist ROS Decomposition. Although the construction of ROS-responsive/scavenging nanosystems has made preliminary achievements in brain therapy, however, both the therapeutic options do not target the underlying causes of elevated ROS level, but the consequences.11 If the medication is stopped, patients may still suffer from the risk of relapse. Thus, a treatment strategy for directly coping with the upstream origin of ROS will be more effective in relieving the oxidative stress.11 Given metal− protein interactions are the dominating causes of oxidative stress, which aggravate the breakdown of intracerebral redox

octa-peptides) not only present excellent SOD-like activity for the depletion of excessive ROS but also capture excessive Cu2+ to prevent downstream Fenton-like reactions. More importantly, such SOD-like activity can be further enhanced after Cu2+ chelation, further augmenting ROS depletion. The elaborately engineered multifunctional nanozyme presents comprehensive and superadditive therapeutic functions, paving a new way for efficient AD treatment. 2D nanomaterials have attracted broad attention in the past several years owing to their unique physicochemical properties.630−634 In a recent study, Chen et al. applied 2D BP nanosheets as efficient copper chelators to facilitate the generation of BP-Cu complex for neuroprotective therapy (Figure 65).635 Based on thermodynamic calculation, the change of Gibbs free energy (ΔG) during the reaction between P and Cu2+ is highly negative, much lower than that of the reaction between P and other metal ions (Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, and Zn2+), indicating the high specificity of copper chelation by BP nanosheets. In vitro experiment indicated that • OH production would be inhibited after the addition of BP, further evidencing its desirable chelating performance. Furthermore, the local temperature elevation by photothermal conversion of BP nanosheets under NIR irradiation is also beneficial for improving their BBB permeability. Therefore, BP nanosheets display potent therapeutic capability to regulate copper dyshomeostasis and inhibit downstream ROS overproduction, and it is expected that more efficient nanosystems will be developed as multifunctional metal chelators in the future to treat neurodegenerative disorders.

anti-inflammatory drug release. Moreover, exogenous physical irradiations have also been explored as supplementary tools to regulate such a ROS-involved therapeutic process. In this section, we will concentrate on three therapeutic protocols and discuss the underlying material chemistries of nanomedicines that underpin their therapeutic performances. 4.2.1. ROS Depletion by Organic/Inorganic Antioxidants. Traditional molecular antioxidants for inflammation treatment are, unfortunately, largely problematic due to their nonspecific biodistribution, rapid renal excretion, poor tissue permeability, and low retention at pathological sites.642 Fortunately, recent development in nanotechnology has greatly benefited the fabrication of ROS-scavenging nanosystems for anti-inflammatory therapy. On account of the diversity and complexity of inflammation-associated diseases, these nanosystems can be elaborately tailored based on the specific biological scenarios (location, physicochemical cues, immunologic environment, etc.) to improve their biostability in transport pathways and accumulation in pathological lesions, thus fully exerting their therapeutic performances. For example, oral administration for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) typically requires nanomedicines with high enough stability during gastrointestinal transport. As a typical paradigm, Zhang et al. constructed a SOD/CAT mimetic nanoplatform for the treatment of IBD, by integrating SOD-mimetic Tempol (Tpl) and CAT-mimetic βcyclodextrin into one single nanosystem.643 Due to the intrinsic passive targeting capability of nanoparticles toward inflamed intestinal tissues, where increased epithelial permeability greatly favors their accumulation, such a developed nanomedicine exhibited high bioavailability, benefiting the subsequent intestinal ROS depletion for colitis treatment. In a recent work, Li et al. fabricated a broad-spectrum ROS-scavenging nanosystem for inflammation prevention, by sequentially conjugating two functional moieties, Tpl and phenylboronic acid pinacol ester (PBAP), onto a β-cyclodextrin scaffold.642 Such a composite nanosystem features tunable size and

4.2. Inflammatory Diseases

Inflammation is a natural response of the immune system to injury and infection, which can lead to the release of inflammatory substances (cytokines, radicals, hormones, and other small molecules) and thus favoring the protection of the human body against these pathological aberrations.636 However, there is epidemiological and clinical evidence indicating that excessive inflammation is detrimental and associated with a number of pathological dysfunctions, such as hepatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, as well as neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases.637−639 It has now been elucidated that, aberrant ROS generation is one of the crucial mediators in the pathogenesis of inflammation (Figure 66).637 During the process of oxidative protein folding in ER, the formation of a disulfide-bond requires the use of molecular oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor, which leads to the production of H2O2.640 Moreover, additional oxidative stress can also be initiated by the substantial consumption of reductive GSH in this process.637,641 These generated ROS favor Ca2+ release from ER to cytosol and the inner matrix of the mitochondria, where Ca2+ disrupts the Mito-ETC, leading to a second production of ROS. Furthermore, these ROS will further promote Ca2+ release from the ER, resulting in continuous cycles of oxidative stress elevation that finally reaches the toxic threshold, and consequently various inflammation-associated pathological abnormalities. Anti-inflammatory therapeutics have been extensively developed for decades, among which targeting excessive ROS for interrupting aberrant inflammatory response has been considered as a feasible strategy for inflammation inhibition. A considerable number of nanomedicines have been elaborately engineered to confer ROS-scavenging capability for direct detoxification or to impart ROS-responsiveness for site-specific BK

multiple ROS-scavenging capability (toward O2•−, H2O2, and HClO),644 presenting superior therapeutic efficacies in murine models of inflammatory diseases, evidencing their application potential in future clinical treatment. Very recently, Bao et al. prepared biodegradable polydopamine nanoparticles as efficient ROS scavengers for the treatment of periodontal inflammation (Figure 67a).645 The polyphenol structure of polydopamine nanoparticles endows them with antioxidant activities toward O2•− and H2O2, guaranteeing high therapeutic efficacy. In addition to organic antioxidative nanosystems, inorganic nanozymes with intrinsic catalytic ROS-scavenging capabilities have also been applied for the treatment of inflammation. Hirst et al. first demonstrated the anti-inflammatory properties of CeO2 nanoparticles in 2009, which was associated with the downregulation of pro-inflammatory inducible nitric oxide synthase expression in J774A.1 macrophages.646 Very recently, Soh et al. fabricated ceria-zirconia (CZ) composite nanozymes with enhanced catalytic activity for ROS depletion and sepsis treatment (Figure 67b).647 The conversion of Ce4+ to Ce3+ is energetically unfavorable in pristine CeO2, while Zr4+ doping in CeO2 facilitates the conversion between the two oxidation states as well as maintains higher Ce3+-to-Ce4+ ratio, thus enhancing the catalytic ROS-depletion performance. In addition, Chen et al. used carbon quantum dots as antioxidative nanocatalysts to scavenge •OH and H2O2 for inflammation treatment.648 They employed a self-healing hydrogel prepared from N-carboxyethyl chitosan and sodium alginate dialdehyde, to encapsulate carbon quantum dots for conferring localized reloadable capability, thus to favor their repeated administration in pathological lesions. 4.2.2. Anti-inflammatory Nanoreactors Responsive to Endogenous ROS. Benefiting from the development of CDR, many nanosystems have also been fabricated with ROS responsiveness for controlled anti-inflammatory drug release within pathological regions.649 As a typical paradigm, Chung et al. first constructed ultrasensitive H2O2-responsive gas-generating nanoreactors for localized osteoarthritis inhibition (Figure 68).650 Such a nanosystem was fabricated by encapsulating ethanol, iron salt (FeCl2), sodium bicarbonate (SBC), and the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DEX-P) into PLGA. The overexpressed H2O2 in inflamed joints can diffuse into the PLGA shell and oxidize the encapsulated ethanol into acetic acid in the presence of Fe2+,651 creating an acidic environment to facilitate the decomposition of SBC and the generation of CO2 bubbles. The resulted pressure elevation leads to the disruption of the PLGA shell, facilitating the release of inner antiarthritic DEX-P to the lesion regions. In vivo experiment indicated that most of the articular cartilage presented strong aggrecan and proteoglycan expressions after the treatment, demonstrating that osteoarthritis had been successfully inhibited by the nanosystem. Such a site-specific drug release strategy can also be applied for the treatment of other inflammation-associated diseases. Feng et al. have fabricated a redox-active nanosystem responsive to the inflammatory microenvironment for the treatment of arterial restenosis.652 In this work, β-cyclodextrin was utilized as a pH/H2O2-responsive carrier material, to enable the preferential release of rapamycin (RAP) in the inflamed regions. These nanoparticles could be effectively internalized by rat vascular smooth muscle cells, significantly potentiating the therapeutic performance of RAP. After intravenous injection, the accumulation of nanoparticles at

the injured site of the carotid artery was observed (passive targeting), which may be attributed to the enhanced endothelial permeability of the artery after balloon injury.653,654 Moreover, the surface electric potential of the as-fabricated nanomedicine might further contribute to their significant targeting effect (active targeting).655 This paradigm takes full advantage of inflammatory microenvironment to facilitate targeted transport and site-specific drug release, providing a new approach for the design of a next-generation smart CDR nanosystem. In addition to the conventional pharmaceutical molecules, other biomacromolecules, such as nucleic acids, have also been engineered into CDR nanosystems for anti-inflammatory nanotherapy. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) against proinflammatory cytokines have been first applied to treat intestinal inflammation in 2008.656 However, these orally administrated siRNAs suffer from the turbulence of the harsh environment in the gastrointestinal tract, while the systemic depletion of cytokines will also result in severe side effects. To cope with these issues, Wilson and his co-workers fabricated ROS-responsive, orally delivered thioketal nanoparticles (TKNs) for controlled release of siRNAs against the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) in the region of intestinal inflammation (Figure 69).657 These bioresponsive nanoparticles were prepared from poly(1,4-phenyleneacetone dimethylene thioketal) (PPADT), which contains ROS-active thioketal linkages.658 Importantly, PPADT are stable against protease-catalyzed degradation,658,659 guaranteeing that TKNs are stable in the gastrointestinal tract

a sequential reaction nanosystem. Upon laser irradiation, photons are absorbed by Chla, which will accept a new electron from AA and return to its ground state.661 Then, Au nanoparticles collect the electrons from the Chla and the protons from the oxidized AA for the generation of H2,662 providing a gaseous ROS scavenger to reduce intracellular pathological •OH into H2O.663 Such a therapeutic strategy leaves other physiological ROS (such as H2O2 and O2•−) unaffected, thus maintaining normal physiological activities. Histological examinations of inflamed tissues evidence that the prepared photoresponsive H2-generating nanosystem can effectively reduce oxidative stress in pathological regions, indicating its great potential for anti-inflammatory therapy. It is worth noting that, although significant progresses have been made in the past two decades in elucidating the underlying pathogenesis of inflammation, the treatment regimen of inflammation-associated dysfunctions, however, is still in its infancy. It is expected the more feasible ROS-based therapeutic nanosystems will be fabricated for better inflammation management.

to protect inner siRNA from exogenous turbulence. When these orally administrated nanoformulations arrive at inflammation regions, the breakage of thioketal linkages facilitates the nanoparticle degradation and subsequent TNF-α-siRNA release, which downregulates the expression of TNF-α mRNA in the colon to protect mice from ulcerative colitis. This CDR strategy provides a potent therapeutic approach to target upstream pathogenesis (TNF-α mRNA expression) for efficient inflammation treatment, which is also instructive for future research in the design of advanced anti-inflammatory nanomedicine. 4.2.3. Anti-inflammatory Nanoreactors Responsive to Exogenous Stimulus.

4.3. Cardiovascular Diseases

recent report which utilizes genetic pathways to activate the antioxidant response for ROS scavenging,674 the therapeutic modalities against cardiovascular diseases have become ever diversified, and therefore, in this section, we will present this paradigm to give implications on the future integration of nanotechnology and genetic engineering for better therapeutic outcomes of cardiovascular dysfunctions. 4.3.1. Nanoplatforms Facilitate Cell Adhesion in ROS Microenvironment. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) implantation has been developed as a potential strategy for MI treatment by facilitating the secretion of paracrine factors.675−677 However, the poor survival of MSCs has greatly compromised their therapeutic benefit,678 which is closely associated with the overproduction of ROS in the infarcted region after reperfusion.679,680 These excess ROS impede the adhesion of MSCs to the myocardium extracellular matrix (ECM),681 leading to the apoptosis of MSCs (i.e., anoikis) due to the lack of MSC−ECM interaction, thereby deteriorating the therapeutic efficacy of MSC implantation in MI treatment. 2D inorganic materials have been explored for years,682−685 among which GO sheets have been extensively applied in biomedicine based on their unique surface chemistry.686−693 Intriguingly, they are capable of adsorbing ECM proteins from serum, facilitating cell adhesion on their 2D topographical surface by providing additional cell−ECM interaction.694 In light of such a unique cytoprotective effect of GO sheets, Park et al. prepared GO flakes as a cellular adhesive to protect implanted MSCs from anoikis in ROS-abundant injured myocardium for MI treatment (Figure 72).695 In this study, MSCs were allowed to adhere on GO flakes prior to implantation, thus to enable the cell−ECM interaction between MSCs and the ECM adsorbed on GO flakes. Moreover, this process can also enhance the paracrine secretion from the MSCs after implantation, which further promotes cardiac function restoration. Differing from all the aforementioned ROS-based nanoplatforms that take advantage of their intrinsic material chemistry to confer ROS-regulating capabilities or

Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of mortality worldwide, and its prognosis remains poor.664,665 Atherosclerosis is the most common pathogeny of cardiovascular diseases, especially myocardial infarction (MI, known as heart attack).666 Both experimental and clinical evidence indicate that vascular oxidative stress, which is associated with a few cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., diabetes mellitus,667 hypertension,668 hypercholesterolemia,669 etc.), can predispose patients to the development of atherosclerosis.670 The activation of ROSgenerating enzyme systems (NOX, XO, Mito-ETC, etc.) and/ or the weakening of ROS-detoxifying systems (GSH, uric acid, vitamins, poly phenolic compounds, etc.) will lead to oxidative stress intensification and subsequent inactivation of vascular NO, a key regulator of endothelial functions, through the rapid oxidation of NO by O2•−, or dysfunction of endothelial NO synthase via oxidative damage, which further contributes to O2•− generaion.557 On account of the significant role that NO plays in maintaining vascular homeostasis (e.g., inducing vaso dilation, inhibiting platelet aggregation, and decreasing proinflammatory genes expression671), such a ROS-induced NO dyshomeostasis may activate multiple proinflammatory and proatherosclerotic pathways, accompanied by the upregulated expression of pathogenic gene products, which is the major molecular basis of atherosclerosis.557,672 Demonstrations on the pathogenicity of excessive ROS have also inspired scientists to fabricate feasible nanoplatforms for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease (Figure 71).665 In general, these ROS-based nanosystems exert their therapeutic effects via the two following approaches: (1) sequestration of ROS microenvironment to protect implanted cells from ROS-induced anoikis; (2) direct depletion of excessive ROS to mitigate endothelial dysfunction. Given there is no innate mechanism in angiocarpy that facilitates the passive/active targeting of nanomedicines toward lesion areas after systemic administration, generally these nanoplatforms are locally administered within pathological tissues.673 Based on a BO

ROS responsiveness for exerting their corresponding therapeutic functions, the treatment strategy in this work is based on the unique biophysical characteristics of GO to facilitate the sequestration of ROS microenvironment and supplementation of additional ECM for assisting the protection of MSCs, finally contributing to the enhancement of cardiac repair effect. 4.3.2. Therapeutic Platforms Scavenge Excessive ROS To Augment Heart Repair. The second approach for mitigating cardiovascular dysfunction is the direct depletion of excessive ROS by antioxidative nanosystems. A 2012 study by Pagliari et al. first reported that CeO2 nanoparticles could protect cardiac progenitor cells from oxidative stress.696 In this work, internalized CeO2 nanoparticles were able to protect cardiac progenitor cells from H2O2-induced cytotoxicity for more than 7 days, indicating the great potential of the inorganic nanozyme in cardiac repair. Recently, Han et al. also used GO as an antioxidant to attenuate inflammatory polarization of macrophages for MI therapy (Figure 73a).697 Given ROS overexpression during MI can initiate inflammatory activation of macrophages (M1 phenotype) and facilitate their migration to the infarct,698−700 the downregulation of ROS levels by GO is able to mitigate postinfarct inflammation and benefit cardiac repair. Moreover, in this work, interleukin-4 plasmid DNA (IL4 pDNA) was loaded on the planar surface of GO to enable an earlier polarization shift of macrophages from proinflammatory M1 to their regenerative counterparts (i.e., M2 phenotype), which not only provides a complementary effect to facilitate inflammation attenuation but also enhances the secretion of cardiac regenerative cytokines for synergistic MI treatment. This work integrates antioxidative therapy and immunotherapy for the cooperative augmentation of therapeutic effect, paving a new way for MI treatment.

Based on the localized manner of drug administration in the treatment of cardiovascular disease, encapsulating molecular or nanoscale antioxidants into hydrogel preinjection is an effective approach to improve therapeutic efficacy by confining and fixing inner antioxidative agents within lesion regions.701 Moreover, these injectable hydrogels can be specifically tailored to mimic 3D cardiac ECM to provide an appropriate stereoscopic microenvironment with regenerative biochemical cues, thus facilitating cell adhesion, proliferation, and/or maturation. Li et al. first fabricated a chitosan-GSH-based injectable composite hydrogel for suppressing oxidative damage in cardiomyocytes.702 They conjugated GSH on the chitosan chloride chain via amide bonding, thus to fix these antioxidative GSH molecules to ensure minimized leakage. Such a chitosanGSH conjugate can not only effectively scavenge O2•− and • OH even at relatively high concentrations but also present excellent biocompatibility to favor the adhesion and survival of cardiomyocytes based on the unique bioactive properties of chitosan. Additionally, Hao et al. reported a fullerenol nanoparticlereinforced injectable alginate hydrogel for cardiac repair, which can not only downregulate ROS level in lesion regions but also facilitate cardiomyogenic differentiation of brown adiposederived stem cells (BADSCs) seeded in the composite hydrogel (Figure 73b).703 As a typical antioxidative nanozyme, fullerenol confers appreciable ROS-scavenging ability to mitigate oxidant damage, during which JNK signaling pathways were inhibited but ERK and p38 signaling pathways were activated, further promoting the survival and proliferative capacity of BADSCs. Moreover, the cardiomyogenic differentiation capacity of BADSCs can also be elevated by the fullerenol nanoparticles even under ROS microenvironment, presenting a synergistic therapeutic effect for cardiac repair.

outcome of cardiac repair was further evidenced by genomic analyses, which indicated that Pitx2 could activate genes encoding electron transport chain components and ROS scavengers to protect cells from oxidative damage. Importantly, in vitro binding assays and coimmunoprecipitation of endogenous cardiac proteins have evidently demonstrated the Pitx2-Yap interaction is crucial for Hippo-deficient cardiac regeneration, which is closely associated with gene activation for maintaining redox balance. Thus, Pitx2 has been evidenced to be essential for cardiac repair, which constitutes a solid theoretical foundation to design next-generation potent therapeutic medicines (such as multifunctional nanomedicines) for efficient treatment of MI by targeting Pitx2. ROS-based therapeutic platforms for cardiovascular diseases are still in their early stage. The complexity of pathogenesis, as well as the lack of innate targeting mechanism, make the treatment of cardiovascular diseases even more difficult. However, encouraged by the recent advances in nanotechnology, biology, and tissue engineering, researchers can develop more systematic treatment regimens to improve the therapeutic outcomes based on the clarification of the upstream genomic regulatory mechanisms, as well as downstream clinical symptoms.

that the established composite hydrogel could effectively mitigate oxidative stress in the MI zone, improve the survival of BADSCs, and promote angiogenesis as well, which in turn contribute to the recovery of cardiac functions. Thus, the fullerenol/alginate hydrogel can serve as a robust delivery vehicle of BADSCs in the treatment of MI, which will inspire researchers to integrate materials science and cell engineering to establish more feasible therapeutic platforms for efficient cardiac repair. 4.3.3. Genetic Pathways Activate the Antioxidant Response. Recent marked breakthroughs in uncovering the genomic mechanisms of cardiac repair have further pushed forward the development of advanced therapeutic modalities for efficient MI treatment. If we could precisely modulate the upstream genomic regulatory mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis/recovery of cardiovascular disease, such as ROS/ antioxidant-related genomic pathways, the downstream cardiovascular dysfunctions would be probably eradicated. As a pioneering study, Tao et al. first demonstrated that Paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2 (Pitx2) can activate the antioxidant response after cardiac injury for the treatment of MI (Figure 74).674 By evaluating an established Hippo-deficient heart regeneration mouse model, they manifested that the expression of Pitx2 could be induced in border zone ventricular cardiomyocyte nuclei of adult mouse hearts after MI, capable of facilitating the regeneration process. Comparatively, neonatal mouse hearts failed to self-repair after apex resection due to the leakage of Pitx2. Such a vital role of Pitx2 in determining the

health and pathogenesis.705 The positive effects of bacteria on humans have been utilized for disease prevention and have even been developed as microorganism-based therapeutics,706 while the negative ones may influence normal metabolic processes and result in pathological dysfunctions, which can be collectively referred to as bacterial infection.707 These downstream diseases as a result of pathogenic auxotrophic bacteria may present serious global challenges threatening public health,708 underscoring the need to take medical actions accordingly to cope with such a dilemma. The 1940s, 50s, and 60s have witnessed the rapid development of antibiotics, which were highly expected to be the terminators of all bacterial disease.709 However, this expectation has been quickly tempered by the emergence of MDR among bacteria.710 For example, enterobacteriaceae, such as E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPN), are antibioticresistant and were recently designated as first-rank bacterial pathogens by the World Health Organization.711 Therefore, it is of great importance to develop novel feasible antimicrobials to overcome MDR of bacteria for effective antibacterial therapy. In the past decade, numbers of antibacterial nanoplatforms have been fabricated to inactivate MDR bacteria for therapeutic applications, among which ROS-generating nanoplatforms have attracted broad attention (Figure 75). In fact, analogous to

driven ROS generation. We will focus on the unique redox activities of these therapeutic systems, to render readers a better understanding of the therapeutic mechanisms and corresponding therapeutic concepts. 4.4.1. Chemo-Driven ROS Generation by Nanozymes. Analogous to cancer CDT, antibacterial therapy can also utilize catalytic nanomaterials to generate toxic ROS and bring oxidative damage to bacteria. Typically, nanozymes with intrinsic peroxidase-like activities have also been extensively applied for inhibiting bacterial infection by reacting with an added low concentration of H2O2 to catalyze the generation of • OH (Fenton-like reactions).714 Here, H2O2 serves as an extrinsic substrate for sustained enzymatic reactions, which differs from the case in cancer CDT in which H2O2 acts as an endogenous biosynthetic trigger to activate the catalytic reactions specifically within tumor. As an increasing number of inorganic nanomaterials have been evidenced to be peroxidase mimics, several representative catalytic nanozymes, such as Fe3O4 nanoparticles,715,716 Fe3S4/Fe1−xS nanoparticles,717 V2O5 nanowires,118,712 graphene quantum dots,718 GO nanosheets,719 MoS2 nanosheets,720,721 g-C3N4 nanosheets,722 Pd nanocrystals,723 etc., have also been demonstrated of significant antibacterial effects in the presence of H2O2. It is noted that such a meticulous cooperation between nanozyme and H2O2 also necessitates high catalytic efficiency of nanozyme to lower the H2O2 usage in antibacterial therapy for circumventing unnecessary biosafety issues. On account of the diversity of pathogenic bacteria and the complexity of underlying pathogenesis, therapeutic protocols should be properly tailored based on the requirement of specific biological scenarios. For example, dental biofilms develop when extrinsic Streptococcus mutans, and/or other bacteria, accumulate on a tooth surface and create a highly acidic microenvironment, which results in the gradual aciddissolution of enamel-apatite on teeth and the subsequent dental caries (tooth decay). To address this issue, Gao et al. first used Fe3O4 nanocatalysts in combination with H2O2 to suppress dental caries by promoting the biofilm matrix degradation and enhancing bacterial killing (Figure 76).716 The intrinsic peroxidase-like activities of Fe3O4 nanoparticles favor the catalytic generation of strong oxidizing •OH in acidic niches of caries-causing biofilm to trigger the degradation of protective ECM and the death of Streptococcus mutans. Moreover, this catalytic therapeutic system is also capable of inhibiting hydroxyapatite demineralization in acidic conditions by creating a barrier of ferric phosphate, which will mitigate the severity of carious lesions in vivo. Such a catalytic strategy can also be integrated with other antibacterial modalities for a synergistic germicidal outcome. As a typical paradigm, Yin et al. first utilized PEGylated MoS2 nanosheets as bifunctional therapeutic platforms for synergistic catalytic/photothermal treatment of wound infections.721 Based on the intrinsic peroxidase-like activity and photothermalconversion capability of MoS2,317,724 the combination between catalytic •OH generation and NIR photothermal effect is applicable to enhance the ultimate antibacterial efficacy. Moreover, •OH-induced GSH oxidation can be accelerated by local hyperthermia generated in the photothermal process to facilitate the breakdown of the intercellular antioxidant defense system of bacteria [E. coli and Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) in this work], further improving the therapeutic effect. In addition to the aforementioned peroxidase-mimetic nanozymes, recently, V2O5 nanowires with vanadium haloper-

other eukaryocytes, bacteria also possess an endogenous antioxidant defense system (CAT, SOD, peroxiredoxins, etc.) to neutralize extrinsic aberrant oxidants and convert them to harmless products.561,713 Therefore, to obtain a desirable antibacterial outcome, high ROS-generating efficiency of nanomedicine is the prerequisite to guarantee the elevation of oxidative stress significantly over the tolerability threshold of bacteria and thus to exert a therapeutic effect. In this section, we will elucidate the state-of-the-art studies concerning the recent advances in this field: (1) nanozymes with peroxidaselike activities for chemo-driven ROS generation; (2) semiconductors with unique energy band structures for photodriven ROS generation; (3) electrochemiluminescence for electricBR

sary for enhanced •OH-generating efficiency and oxidative damage on pathogenic bacteria. 4.4.2. Photodriven ROS Generation by Semiconductors. The second methodology for antibacterial therapy is to take advantage of the photosensitiveness of nanomedicines for light-triggered ROS generation, which is the same as PDT in physicochemical principles but varied in treatment objects. Typically, semiconductor nanomaterials have been extensively developed for light-activated antibacterial therapy based on their tunable photoelectric properties that promote catalytic ROS generation. Courtney et al. first demonstrated that CdTe quantum dots (with a band gap energy of 2.4 eV, CdTe-2.4) could induce light-activated toxicity in several MDR bacterial strains, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus, carbapenemresistant E. coli, and extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing KPN and Salmonella typhimurium.725 Moreover, they further pointed out that the phototoxicity of CdTe-2.4 quantum dots was controlled by the redox potentials of charge carriers, which could be tuned through changing the particle size. In a successional work, the researchers also engineered CdTe-2.4 quantum dots to generate O2•− and potentiate antibiotic activity in MDR isolates for synergistically enhanced antimicrobial therapy.726

requirements of antibacterial applications in different biological environments. It is worth noting that the unique catalytic activities of nanozymes are determined by their structural and compositional characteristics, and variations in these features may result in distinct antibacterial activities. For example, Fang et al. recently reported that the bactericidal activities of Pdnanocrystals were strongly associated with their exposed facet.723 {100}-faceted Pd cubes present higher oxidase and peroxidase-like activities than {111}-faceted Pd octahedrons, leading to higher biocidal efficacies against Gram-positive bacteria. However, for Gram-negative bacteria, a reverse trend of antibacterial activity was observed, where Pd octahedrons displayed stronger membrane-penetration capacities than Pd nanocubes, thereby exhibiting higher antibacterial activities than the latter. In addition to the microscopic structures, composition of nanozymes is also a critical factor governing catalytic activities and consequent therapeutic efficacies. Wang et al. first discovered that the hybridization of g-C3N4 nanosheets by Au nanoparticles can significantly enhance the peroxidase-like activity of g-C3N4, due to the positive synergistic coupling effect of Au nanoparticles in stabilizing • OH radicals.722 Thus, to achieve a better therapeutic outcome, structural/compositional regulations of nanozymes are necesBT

capability. The fabricated FLV-MoS2 nanofilms showed a ∼15 times higher bacteria photoinactivation efficiency compared with that of bulk MoS2, demonstrating the vital role of dimension transition of MoS2 (from 3D to 2D) in improving its photocatalytic performance. Given semiconductors are nonspecific in promoting ROS generation among other competing reactions [such as hydrogen evolution reactions (HER), OER, etc.], additional functional materials (Cu or Au) were modified on the surface of MoS2 to improve the electron−hole separation efficiency and ROS-generating performance. With the deposition of 5-nm-thick Cu or Au, FLV-MoS2 nanofilms presented rapid inactivation of >99.999% E. coli in as short as 20 and 60 min, respectively, demonstrating remarkable antibacterial efficacy. The above report indicates that proper functionalization of semiconductors is beneficial in regulating the separation of charge carriers for enhanced ROS production capability and

2D transition metal dichalcogenides, such as MoS2 nanosheets, have been extensively developed in optoelectronics, energy storage, and biomedicines in the past several years.727−735 By decreasing the thickness of MoS2 from bulk material to a single layer, its bandgap changes from 1.3 to 1.9 eV,736 making it a robust photocatalyst to harvest the whole spectrum of visible light for efficient electron−hole separation and ROS generation. In a recent exploration, Liu et al. first utilized few-layered vertically aligned MoS2 (FLV-MoS2) nanofilms to make full use of visible light for enhanced photocatalytic bacterial inactivation (Figure 78).737 The significantly decreased thickness of FLV-MoS2 nanofilms facilitated the diffusion of electrons and holes to their planar surface, which further promoted the electron−hole separation. Moreover, such a 2D topographical morphology provided a large specific surface area to favor their interaction with ambient milieu for enhanced ROS-generating efficiency and antibacterial BU

The two paradigms will inspire researchers to take full advantage of the cooperative interactions between different nanomaterials, to design more potent photosensitive agents for efficient bacteria inactivation. 4.4.3. Electric-Driven ROS Generation by Electrochemiluminescence. Besides industrial sectors, current biomedical fields are also considering how to fully make use of electric energy to benefit the health of human beings. Very recently, Liu et al. first constructed an electrochemiluminescence (ECL)-based luminous system for the inactivation of pathogenic bacteria (Figure 80).740 In this system, the anodic oxidation of 5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1,4-phthalazinedione (luminol) on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) enables the generated reactive intermediate to react with O2•− (produced by oxidization of H2O2) and form the excited 3aminophthalate dianion, which returns to its ground state with light emission (i.e., ECL), further activating oligo(p-phenylenevinylene) (OPV, as PS) for ROS generation. Additionally, in this study, the researchers utilized polyacrylamide hydrogel

bacteria inactivation efficacy. In fact, a report in 2013 has extensively elucidated the synergy between host semiconducting materials and guest electron-accepting materials by exemplifying fabricated ZnO/Au hybrid nanostructures (Figure 79a).738 As a typical wide band gap semiconductor, ZnO has the conduction and valence band edges at −0.2 and 3.0 V, respectively, which enables the holes to react with H2O to produce •OH and enables the electrons to react with O2 to generate O2•−. However, the fast recombination between the charge carriers diminishes the generation of ROS in ZnO. To overcome such a limitation, in this work, Au was deposited on the surface of ZnO, which not only enhanced light absorption via the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect but also significantly promoted charge carrier separation, thus facilitating ROS generation and bacteria inactivation. Additionally, Mao et al. fabricated Ag/Ag@AgCl/ZnO hybrid nanostructure for antibacterial therapy (Figure 79b).739 The coupling of Ag/ Ag@AgCl accelerates charge separation in ZnO to facilitate photocatalytic ROS generation. Moreover, in vivo results demonstrate that the sustained releases of Ag+ and Zn2+ from the hybrid nanostructure will recruit a large number of BV

subsequent generation of tyrosyl radicals, which can further react with tyrosine or other tyrosyl radicals to form 1,3dityrosine, leading to cross-linking for the spatially resolved alteration of corneal biomechanics. This pioneering work is implemented by employing a femtosecond laser to initiate ROS generation for vision correction, which inspired researchers to conceive other feasible ROS-generating nanosystems to benefit the therapeutic process by enhancing ROS-generating efficiency and mitigating side effects, finally favoring the clinical translation of such an advanced femtosecond laser technology for myopia treatment. When we design proper therapeutic strategies for the treatment of malignant diseases, simultaneous tissue regeneration is also supposed to be taken into consideration for the optimization of the therapeutic outcome. The year 1993 marked the booming growth of research on tissue regeneration when Langer first proposed the concept of “tissue engineering”.744 Since then, numerous technological strategies have been developed to promote tissue regeneration for the recovery of lesion sites.745,746 ROS, as the key signal transduction mediators in biosystem regulating various physiological activities, have attracted broad attention of scientists to utilize such versatile chemical species for facilitating tissue regeneration. A recent remarkable report by Hervera et al. first indicated that ROS could be applied to regulate axonal regeneration through the release of NOX2 complexes into injured axons.742 After spinal injury, exosome containing NOX2 complexes will release from macrophages into axon. Then NOX2 oxidizes phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) to stimulate PI3K-phosporylated Akt signaling, thus facilitating regenerative reprogramming. This discovery also lays a solid foundation to utilize biosynthetic exosome-based therapeutic nanoplatform for tissue regeneration in the pathological region. The substantial evolution of ROS science will provide great opportunities to develop novel and feasible strategies for the treatment of various pathological dysfunctions (neurodegenerative disorders, inflammation, vascular diseases, bacterial infection, etc., Table 8). Although most of them are still in their early stages, it is believed that further substantial developments in this field will greatly contribute to the establishment of more robust nanoplatforms for the health of human beings.

to replace the liquid phase in the ECL system to develop a hydrogel-based antimicrobial device. Due to the relatively low reaction rate in the hydrogel, the ECL could last for more than 10 min after charging for only five seconds, making them suitable for persistent antibacterial therapy. Such an ECL strategy applies electric energy to power the ROS-generating process, which is attractive in designing advanced electricdriven nanomedicine for convenient, simple, and controllable antibacterial therapy. On account of the similar mechanisms of ROS-mediated anticancer and antibacterial therapeutics, the design rationale of antibacterial nanomedicines can be inspired from the relatively mature methodologies in cancer therapy. For example, antibacterial therapy can also be integrated with endogenous immunoregulation for individualized synergistic treatment. It is expected that more feasible antibacterial platforms will be fabricated in the future for significantly improved therapeutic effects on bacterial infection. 4.5. Other Diseases

In addition to the aforementioned disease treatments, where redox modulation by ROS-based nanomedicine has gradually become a highly potential therapeutic strategy, the treatment of other pathological abnormalities can also be assisted by the proper regulation of ROS levels to initiate therapeutic effects. Based on the very recent advances uncovering that ROSinvolved biochemical variations can be utilized to mediate the recovery of some specific diseases,741,742 in this section, we will discuss these important discoveries and give implications on future directions of ROS-based nanomedicines in contributing to greater medical advances in this area. The morbidity of myopia has increased worldwide over the past several decades, and it has now become an almost inevitable problem for the vast majority of people.743 Most affected people use spectacles to provide additional refractive error correction, which brings large troubles to their lives. Refractive surgeries have emerged as attractive options for the permanent correction of vision recently. However, these therapeutic approaches are invasive and may compromise corneal structure, restricting their future developments. Recently, Wang et al. proposed a noninvasive strategy for permanent vision correction by taking advantage of laser− cornea interaction (Figure 81).741 This strategy is based on the employment of a femtosecond laser, which can lead to the lowdensity plasma formation and subsequent ROS production within collagenous tissues and thus to facilitation of the oxidation of surrounding proteins and formation of cross-links, finally triggering changes in the refractive power of eyes. Here, ROS generation is a consequence of ionization and dissociation processes. First, multiple photons activate the bound electrons above the bandgap, facilitating the formation of electron−hole pairs. Then, water cation radical H2O+ is generated, which subsequently reacts with a water molecule to generate H3O+ and •OH. At the same time, the excited water molecule also dissociates, generating another •OH. Finally, secondary and tertiary reactions also occur that result in the generation of O2•−, H2O2 and other active species. These generated ROS enable the oxidative modification of tyrosine and the

FURTHER DISCUSSIONS ON ROS−MATERIAL INTERACTIONS: BIODEGRADABILITY The above sections are concentrated on how to take advantage of ROS−material interactions to generate, scavenge, or respond to ROS, for eliciting therapeutic effects in biosystems. However, during/after these processes, how do ROS interact with these elaborately fabricated functional materials and impact their morphological, structural, or compositional integrity? This question leads us to further explore ROS−material interactions to investigate the underlying chemical principles of ROSinitiated biodegradability of materials. Thus, in this section, we will focus on recent representative studies to discuss how ROS generated in biological systems (especially enzymatic catalysis) BX

graded SWNTs did not initiate any inflammatory response, demonstrating that the improved biodegradability is vitally important to mitigate the pro-inflammatory effects of nanomaterials. This pioneering work first reveals a concrete in vivo pathway that initiates enzymatic ROS generation for subsequent SWNTs biodegradation (i.e., neutrophils-hMPO-HClOSWNTs), further pushing forward the biosafety assessment of inorganic nanomaterials. In addition to SWNTs, 2D inorganic materials have also been extensively investigated to be associated with the in vivo enzymatic biodegradation routes in recent years. Kurapati et al. first reported hMPO-triggered biodegradation of GO sheets in the presence of a low concentration of H2O2.753 In this study, hMPO failed to degrade most aggregated GO samples but succeeded in metabolizing highly dispersed ones, demonstrating the dispersibility of nanomedicines is of great significance for guaranteeing high enzymatic biodegradability and long-term biosafety. In successional research, they further evaluated the stability of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanosheets in the presence of hMPO.754 Significant degradation was observed, indicating that the biodegradation of hBN nanosheets is possible in lungs that contain high levels of hMPO. Moreover, we recently investigated the biodegradability of Nb2C (MXene) nanosheets in the presence of hMPO and H2O2.755 The 2D structure of original Nb2C nanosheets was completely lost during coincubation; thus, an in vivo biodegradation route of Nb2C nanosheets has also been demonstrated, which enables its catalytic disintegration and ultimate excretion after fulfilling their therapeutic functions. However, for other inorganic nanomaterials, the interplay between biological ROS and the biodegradability is still unclear. Although numbers of reports have identified their biodistribution and excretion routes, however, they presented little mechanistic explanation on when, where, and how biological ROS were generated to favor the biodegradation of biomaterials. Therefore, more detailed extensive investigations in this area are necessary, to uncover the underlying in vivo mechanisms of inorganic nanomaterials and their ultimate clinical translation potential. The ever-deeper elucidation of ROS-initiated biodegradation of nanomedicines leads us to consider how to accurately modulate such a ROS-material interaction for the regulation of biodegradability and optimization of therapeutic outcomes. For chemically inert materials, the introduction of redox-active moieties into their framework is a general approach to improve

initiate oxidation and consequent degradation of materials, and how to finely modulate such a ROS−material interaction to control the biodegradation courses for optimization of functionality. The biodegradation of nanomaterials is closely associated with an endogenous immune system because these materials are regarded as extraneous invaders by the biological milieu and supposed to be cleared out.747 Typically, immune cells, such as neutrophils, express oxidant-generating enzymes [e.g., human MPO (hMPO)] for initiating ROS generation and subsequent nanomaterial disintegration.748 Organic nanomaterials have been extensively evidenced with desirable oxidative degradability in biosystems,421 but the relatively high stability of inorganic nanomaterials urges researchers to investigate their interactions with biological ROS (or ROS-generating enzymes) in detail for uncovering the underlying in vivo mechanisms that determine biodegradability. In recent years, human-enzymecatalyzed ROS generation for oxidative biodegradation of inorganic nanomaterials has attracted broad attention from the scientific community, and significant breakthroughs in this area have also evidenced that a few inorganic nanomaterials are capable of being endogenously metabolized under the assistance of biological ROS. Such an emerging research field stems from the initial studies on catalytic degradation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by nonhuman enzymes.749 Allen et al. conducted mechanistic investigations in 2008 and 2009 on HRP-catalyzed in vitro degradation of both carboxylated and pristine SWNTs. 750,751 Significant degradation of carboxylated SWNTs was visualized, but pristine SWNTs presented no degradation during HRP incubation, demonstrating that carboxylated SWNTs are more competent for biomedical applications. However, HRP is not distributed in the human body, and deeper investigations on the human-enzyme-guided biodegradation of SWNTs are highly desired. Based on the two reports, Kagan et al. first evidenced that carboxylated SWNTs can be degraded by hMPO in neutrophils (Figure 82).752 In the presence of biological H2O2, hMPO generates potent HClO and reactive radical intermediates, thus initiating the catalytic oxidation and subsequent biodegradation of SWNTs. Analogous to the previous reports, molecular modeling in this study also suggested that the interaction between the basic amino acids of hMPO and the carboxyls on the SWNTs localizes the nanotubes at the catalytic sites for biodegradation. More importantly, in vivo experiments manifested that the biodeBY

oxidative biodegradability (such as the addition of disulfide bonds into the framework of MONs249). This method has also been widely developed for the design of ROS-triggered CDR nanosystems. Comparatively, for chemically active materials, sequestration of ambient ROS is supposed to protect inner agents from overfast disintegration. Recent advances in surface chemistry have provided feasible tools to confer such a functionality by means of, for example, using a blocking layer to resist ROS attack. Walia et al. first evidenced that sequestration of ROS by surface treatment with antioxidant [1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium (BMIM)][BF4] could improve the chemical stability of BP sheets (Figure 83).756 This mechanistic study inspires investigators to manage biodegradability of nanomaterials by creating antioxidant layers for mediating reaction kinetics of ROS-triggered oxidation of a material matrix. It is noted that, though surface engineering strategies have been extensively reported to be able to prevent overoxidation, most of them fail to provide solid experimental or theoretical evidence for uncovering the altered ROS− material interaction that contributes to the regulation of biodegradability.

visualize the biodistribution of TiO2 and Pt particles in mice.765 Although the hydrodynamic sizes of TiO2 and Pt particles were almost the same, however, their pharmacokinetic behaviors were completely different from each other, indicating that the biodistributions of ROS-based nanomedicines are also closely associated with their compositional characteristics. Lartigue et al. demonstrated that the polymer coating of IONPs controlled their surface reactivity and long-term fate in a biosystem.766 In the lysosomal environment (pH = 4.7), the metabolic rate of PEG-coated IONPs is 1.25 times faster than that of poly(maleic anhydride-alt-1-octadecene)-coated ones, while the released cytotoxic Fe ions from both types of IONPs can be further stored by ferritin. Moreover, Arami and his co-workers further systematically explored the biodistribution and metabolic pathways of administered IONPs (Figure 84).767 They pointed out that the generated ferritin after IONPs degradation could transform to transferrin and be delivered into bone marrow subsequently, in which these Fe-containing molecules could be used for hemoglobin synthesis in RBC circulating throughout the body. Given the extensive application of IONPs in cancer

6. PHARMACOKINETICS AND BIODISTRIBUTION OF ROS-BASED NANOPLATFORMS Great efforts have been made in investigating the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of ROS-based nanoplatforms. Especially, for several typical ROS-regulating nanomaterials, such as TiO2 nanoparticles, CdSe quantum dots, IONPs, CeO2 nanoparticles, and Pt nanoparticles, systematic evaluations have been conducted to explore their biological behaviors after intravenous/oral administration.757−763 In these reports, the size, composition, surface charge, surface coating, and state of agglomeration of the nanosystems have been evidenced to play significant roles in determining their biodistributions, clearances, and long-term fates. For example, Elgrabli et al. have established a pharmacokinetic model to analyze the time-dependent distribution of TiO2 nanoparticles in several organs.764 They discovered that TiO2 nanoparticles below 25 nm in diameter mainly accumulate in liver, lungs, and spleen after intravenous injection and can be cleared from the body with a half-life of 12.7 days. Abe et al. have first employed X-ray scanning analytical microscopy to

without the exogenous physical stimuli (e.g., light, US, electricity, etc.), can be generally categorized in nanocatalytic medicine. Such an emerging area provides advanced approaches to regulate the types, locations, and concentrations of ROS in biosystems, which, as we hope, will further contribute to the development of ROS-related biomedical fields. Although substantial advances have been made in ROS science, however, this discipline is still at its early stage. There are still numbers of scientific and/or technological issues remaining to be addressed, aiming for the next leap-forward development of ROS science and ROS therapeutics: (1) A number of nanomaterials with ROS-generating capabilities are capable of initiating cytotoxicity (e.g., phototoxicity, chemotoxicity, etc.),770−778 and such a chemical characteristic has been applied for cancer treatment and antibacterial therapy. However, for in vivo application, it is a double-edged sword. After exerting expected therapeutic functions, the elevated ROS level may also impair ambient normal tissues. Moreover, if the nanomaterials are not degraded, their ROS-generating functions may still exist that will result in sustained oxidative damage. Therefore, how to balance the therapeutic function and side effect of ROSgenerating nanomaterials is important for the optimization of therapeutic outcomes, which needs more careful characterization of the in vivo behavior of ROS and more advanced tools for the safety assessment of nanomaterials.779 ROS-based diagnostic modalities and ROS detection strategies may be beneficial to qualitatively recognize and, more importantly, quantitatively measure the local ROS distribution and redox status, and thus to favor a customized treatment regimen. Numerous reports have concentrated on the in vivo transport, pharmacokinetics, and biodistribution of nanomaterials;780 the consequent variations of ROS concentration and locations are also suggested to be systematically evaluated for a comprehensive view of side effects of catalytic nanomaterials. (2) “It is difficult to make predictions, especially about the future,”781 is a popular quote about the arduous task of predicting advances. Recent progress in computational chemistry has provided applicable tools to predict/ explore chemical reactions by first-principle molecular dynamics simulations, such as density functional approximation (DFA) B3LYP conceived 25 years ago. This significant technological advance greatly favors the investigation of ROS-related reaction mechanisms, i.e., how ROS are generated, depleted on the surface of redox-active nanomaterials, and how ROS interact with biomolecules that influence pathological progression. Until now, most ROS-related biomedical research only focuses on high therapeutic performance of as-administrated nanomaterials but lacks mechanistic analysis on molecular principles of the ROS-involved therapeutic process. The combination of computational chemistry, ROS science, and material chemistry will help, though mostly to a limited extent at present, to uncover the mysterious veil of ROS chemistry in the therapeutic process, as evidenced by several recent research reports on ROS-based nanotherapy.275,327 In addition, the optimistic prediction of ROS-related chemical reaction by computational techniques is also instructive for

CDT, drug delivery, and antibacterial therapy, these elucidations provide solid foundations for evaluating the long-term biological effects of IONPs after these nanosystems have fulfilled their therapeutic functions. Liver is the major organ of mononuclear phagocytic system (MPS), where the located Kupffer cells can quickly phagocytize the nearby nanomedicines from the bloodstream.768 A significant study in 2014 by Graham et al. first uncovered the mechanism for time-course evolution of CeO2 nanoparticles inside liver.769 This work evidences that CeO2 undergoes partial dissolution to release Ce ions, which leads to a second generation of CeO2 nanoparticles of 1−3 nm in diameter in both interior and exterior of the liver. Electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) profiles further indicate that such a nanoparticle regrowth shifts the redox activity of CeO2 to a more reduced state (higher Ce3+ content), thus conferring enhanced ROS-scavenging activity and favoring subsequent antioxidative therapy after these nanoparticles are delivered into brain. It is noted that most of the current ROS-based nanomedicines are constructed by integrating different functional species or components into one single nanosystem, rather than using one pristine nanomaterial for actuating in vivo ROS generation/depletion. Therefore, the biological behaviors of each component and the synergistic effects among different components of ROS-based nanomedicines are supposed to be comprehensively evaluated. For current researches on the design and fabrication of highly efficient ROS-based nanomedicines, only limited biological information, such as hematological and histological data, has been provided at the end of these reports to evidence the biocompatibility of the established nanocomposites. It is expected that more comprehensive biosafety investigations (such assessments on long-term neurotoxicity and systemic inflammatory effects) will be undertaken in the future to guarantee that these fabricated therapeutic nanosystems are biocompatible enough for the ultimate clinical translation.

7. CONCLUSIONS AND OUTLOOK The unique features of ROS in biological systems have been driving researchers to take full advantage of these chemical species for contributing to ever-greater medical advances. Thanks to the remarkable advances in the field of nanotechnology, great varieties of nanomaterials with unique ROS regulation capabilities have been explored to guide temporospatially dynamic behaviors of ROS in biological milieu for biomedical applications, which contributes to the emergence of new-generation advanced therapeutic methodology, i.e., nanomaterial-guided in vivo ROS evolution for therapy. It is noted that most ROS-involved nanotherapies are based on the catalytic reactions triggered by delivered nanomedicines. This distinct feature leads us to integrate the terms of “catalysis” and “medicine” for better elucidation of such a catalytic nature, i.e., nanocatalytic medicine. The delivered nanomaterials are able to lower the energy barriers of ROSrelated reactions similar to the catalysts in chemistry, favoring in vivo ROS regulation for initiating therapeutic effects. Moreover, the exogenous physical stimuli can also induce/ accelerate ROS-related catalytic reactions, by exciting the energy levels of nanomedicines, such as TiO2 nanoparticles, which is similar to the photocatalysis in environmental and energy fields. Therefore, most ROS-involved therapeutic processes catalyzed by the delivered nanomaterials, with/ CA

been approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the United States) and/or National Medical Products Administration (NMPA, China),795 however, most of them are organic nanosystems, in which only limited types of organic nanocarriers (e.g., liposome, polymer conjugate, polymeric micelle, etc.) have been selected to load specific active pharmaceutical ingredients (e.g., Dox, paclitaxel, cisplatin, siRNA, antigens etc.).796−798 These nanosystems are approved for chemotherapy, gene therapy, or immunotherapy, but the ROS-based therapeutic modalities are not involved.799,800 Moreover, although superparamagnetic IONP has been approved in Europe (NanoTherm, 2010) for glioblastoma treatment; the mechanism is based on the local magnetic hyperthermia ablation rather than catalytic ROS regulation.800 IONP coated with polyglucose sorbitol carboxymethyl ether has also been approved by FDA (Feraheme, 2009) based on the sustained release of Fe2+ for anemia treatment, in which the Fenton chemistry is not used for initiating direct therapeutic effects.796 Very recently, hafnium oxide nanoparticle has been developed in clinical trials (NBTXR3, Phase II/III) for enhancing RT of adult soft tissue sarcoma (NCT01433068), which may be the first example of nanomedicine approved for ROS-based therapy. Nevertheless, for most ROS-based nanomedicines, the laboratory technologies have not been successfully approved or even commercialized. There are several issues that may block the further clinical translation of these nanosystems: (1) The exponential increase of publications claiming the therapeutic successes of diverse ROS-regulating nanosystems may lead to the difficulties in the selection of the optimized platform for starting the subsequent clinical trials. (2) The pleiotropy of ROS in biology makes it vitally important to determine the proper administration doses of ROS-based nanomedicines, for guiding the intracellular ROS toward the therapeutic effects rather than pathological ones. (3) Given the current trend in nanomedicine design shifts to the coloading of several therapeutic agents in one nanosystem for approaching multifunctionality and high ROS-regulating efficiency (such as the establishment of sequential catalytic nanosystems for in vivo ROS evolution), it is hard to investigate the safety and efficacy of each component in biosystems. (4) Preclinical studies only provide ultimate treatment outcomes toward established animal models, but the comprehension of the biological mechanisms by which ROS-based nanomedicines interact with the in vivo environment is still lacking or incomplete. Moreover, the tissue textures and physiological behaviors of experimental animals are much different from those of humans, which necessitates more stringent safety and efficacy evaluations of these nanomedicines before administration into the bodies of patients. These challenges lead us to further consider what efforts we can make in the future to push forward the clinical translation of these new-generation nanomedicines. To meet the everstringent requirement of biomedical applications, our researches should target individual needs after patient stratification for therapy regimen selection. These ROS-based therapeutic nanomedicines, such as cancer nanomedicines, are supposed to be conferred with specific responsivenesses for coping with different tumor subpopulations. For example, exogenously triggered ROS-generating nanosystems (in PDT, SDT, and RT) can be tailored for the focused treatments of skin tumors, while TME-responsive ROS-based nanomedicines (in CDT and CDR) can be fabricated for the systemic

researchers to discover/fabricate new redox-active materials for subsequent biomedical applications, i.e., computations first, followed by experimental realization. On account of the quick emerging of chemoinformatics most recently,782 we believe computational chemistry will make a greater contribution to ROS science especially the exploration of ROS-based therapeutic mechanisms on the molecular level. (3) Entering in the era of “precision medicine”, large numbers of nanomaterials are being elaborately fabricated with unique structures, compositions, and surface functionalities to meet the requirement of individual needs.783,784 Based on the endogenous, automatic, and systemic nature of an innate immune system, immunotherapy can be considered as the most typical personalized cancer therapeutic modality.785 Therefore, here, we further underscore the importance of integrating ROS-based therapeutic modalities with immunotherapy for the optimization of antitumor outcome. Given PDT and RT are capable of initiating immunoregulatory cascades in biosystems, the combination of PDT/RT and immunotherapy will lead to superadditive therapeutic effects that are stronger than any monotherapy or their linear combination. The immunoregulatory potential of other emerging cancer therapeutic modalities, such as SDT and CDT, can also be systematically investigated to explore whether they are competent to favor such a synergy of combined therapy or not, further contributing to the enhancement of antitumor outcomes. (4) The ROS-generating/scavenging capability of materials determines ultimate therapeutic performance. Though great advances have been achieved in nanomaterial design and synthesis in the last two decades, how to overcome the limitations of traditional material systems for further significantly improved redox-regulating capability is still the common focus of all chemists. Although the emergence of inorganic catalytic nanozymes, such as Fe3O4 and CeO2, has greatly benefitted the management of intracellular ROS levels, however, their in vivo catalytic efficiencies are supposed to be further improved on account of the stringent demands of clinical translation for ever-decreased drug dosages. Benefitting from the recent advances of catalytic chemistry, especially heterogeneous single-atom catalysis,786−793 the catalytic efficiencies of materials have been significantly improved, which inspires us to take advantage of such an emerging atomic catalytic modality for favoring in vivo ROS regulation. A pioneering work by Deng et al. first reported that a single iron site confined in a graphene matrix could significantly facilitate the catalytic decomposition of H2O2 and subsequent oxidation of benzene at room temperature,794 leading to the next wave of interest and enthusiasm of chemists to design atomic catalytic medicine for highly efficient therapeutics. After addressing these issues in nanomedicine design, the last concern for the development of this evolving field is the clinical translation of these elaborately engineered redox-active nanosystems. To what extent have these laboratory advances been translated to the clinic? What bottlenecks are keeping these nanomedicines from entering the clinic? It should be pointed out that, although a small number of nanomedicines, such as Doxil, Abelcet, DaunoXome, etc., have CB

treatments of deep-seated tumors. Based on this strategy, we can select the optimized platform(s) based on the unique material chemistry of nanomedicines and the types/stages of diseases. In addition, more feasible diagnostic modalities are expected to be developed for real-time monitoring of ROS content in pathological regions of the human body and thus to determine the doses and administration routes of ROS-based nanomedicines for yielding optimal clinical benefits. It is also noted that, our nanomedicine design should be simplified to enable translational feasibility, rather than decorating sophisticated structures that may render potential biosafety issues. To further accelerate clinical applications, in-depth mechanistic investigations on the long-term biological effects of ROS-based nanomedicines are supposed to be undertaken in animals and humans, and closer cooperation among universities, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies are also suggested to translate preclinical demonstrations into medical advances. As the aforementioned key scientific and technological issues in the development of ROS-based nanomedicines are becoming better addressed (Figure 85), it is highly expected that we will witness the next wave of ROS-based nanomedicines in the next several decades, finally benefiting the health and well-being of humans.
