Tumor vaccine has shown outstanding advantages and good therapeutic effects in tumor immunotherapy. However, antigens in tumor vaccines can be easily cleared by the reticuloendothelium system in advance, which leads to poor therapeutic effect of tumor vaccines. Moreover, it was still hard to monitor the fate and distribution of antigens. To address these limitations, we synthesized a traceable nanovaccine based on gold nanocluster-labeled antigens and upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) for the treatment of melanoma in this study. PH-sensitive Schiff base bond is introduced between UCNPs and gold nanocluster-labeled ovalbumin antigens for monitoring antigens release. Our studies demonstrated that UCNPs conjugated metallic antigen showed excellent biocompatibility, pH-sensitive and therapeutic effect.

Fluorophores with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics are attractive and versatile tools for both chemical sensing and biological imaging. Herein, we designed and synthesized a fluorescent light-up system CTPE-Tau with enhanced cellular uptake ability. The system possesses several advantages, such as a large Stokes shift, low cytotoxicity, and good photostability. Also, it has been successfully utilized to track esterase-activated release of taurine and to scavenge intracellular ROS, and shows great potential for trackable visualized therapy.

Ruthenium-based agents are promising in cancer chemotherapy but lack specific targeting and controlled release properties. Herein, a new class of bioreducible mer-[Ru(III)Cl 3 (dmso)(L)] prodrugs with highly DNA binding affinity were designed and synthesized for nucleus-targeted chemotherapy and selective activation in response to the tumor microenvironment. In this regard, ruthenium(III) prodrugs were reduced into highly active ruthenium(II) drugs in response to high intracellular glutathione levels, resulting in tumor apoptosis through synergistic intercalation that blocked DNA replication and coordination that cleaved nuclear DNA. In light of this, a multifunctional nanodrug (Ru-MSN-PLip) was constructed by integrating RuDPNI prodrug-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Ru-MSN) with a fusion protein-incorporated liposome (PLip) to achieve multiple targeting and eGFP-based fluorescence imaging of nonsmall cell lung cancer. Due to fusion protein-based cancer cell recognition and Ru(III) prodrug-mediated nuclear DNA targeting, Ru-MSN-PLip achieved sequential delivery and greater antitumor activity. In addition, Ru-MSN-PLip exhibited long-term blood circulation and selective accumulation in tumors, leading to significantly limited tumor growth in vivo without notable toxicity. Our findings indicated the potential applications of these types of bioreducible and traceable nanoprodrugs for efficient and safe nonsmall cell lung cancer therapy.

Since the progression of osteoarthritis (OA) is closely associated with synovitis and cartilage destruction, the inhibition of inflammatory responses in synovial macrophages and reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced apoptosis in chondrocytes is crucial for OA amelioration. However, most of the current anti-inflammatory and antioxidant drugs are small molecules apt to be eliminated in vivo . Herein, mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (DAMM NPs) doped with arginine and manganese (Mn) ions were prepared to load dexamethasone (DEX) for OA intervention. A series of in vitro studies showed that the sustained release of DEX from DAMM NPs suppressed synovial inflammation and simultaneously inhibited toll-like receptor 3 (TLR-3) production in chondrocytes, contributing to prevention of chondrocyte apoptosis through the inflammatory factor-dependent TLR-3/NF-κB signaling pathway via modulation of macrophage-chondrocyte crosstalk . In addition, DAMM NPs exerted a predominant role in removal of ROS generated in chondrocytes. Therefore, the DEX-loaded DAMM NPs significantly attenuated OA development in mice model. Importantly, the T1-T2 magnetic contrast capabilities of DAMM NPs allowed an MRI-trackable delivery, manifesting a distinct feature widely regarded to boost the potential of nanomedicines for clinical applications. Together, our developed antioxidant-enhanced DAMM NPs with MRI-visible signals may serve as a novel multifunctional nanocarriers for prevention of OA progression.
