Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) employs Fenton catalysts to kill cancer cells by converting intracellular H2O2 into hydroxyl radical (•OH), but endogenous is insufficient achieve satisfactory anticancer efficacy. Despite tremendous efforts, engineering CDT agents with specific and efficient self-supplying ability remains a great challenge. Here, we report the fabrication of copper peroxide (CP) nanodot, which first example Fenton-type metal nanomaterial, its use as an activatable agent for...

Immunogenic cell death (ICD) elicited by photodynamic therapy (PDT) is mediated through generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. However, the half-life ROS very short and intracellular diffusion depth limited, which impairs ER localization thus limits stress induction. To solve problem, we synthesized reduction-sensitive Ds-sP NPs (PEG-s-s-1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[amino(polyethylene glycol)-2000] nanoparticles)...

Combination therapy that could better balance immune activation and suppressive signals holds great potential in cancer immunotherapy. Herein, we serendipitously found the pH-responsive nanovesicles (pRNVs) self-assembled from block copolymer polyethylene glycol-b-cationic polypeptide can not only serve as a nanocarrier but also cause immunogenic cell death (ICD) through preapoptotic exposure of calreticulin. After coencapsulation photosensitizer, 2-(1-hexyloxyethyl)-2-devinyl...

Abstract Tumor‐lymph node (LN) metastasis is the dominant prognostic factor for tumor staging and therapeutic decision‐making. However, concurrently visualizing performing imaging‐guided lymph surgery challenging. Here, a multiplexed‐near‐infrared‐II (NIR‐II) in vivo imaging system using nonoverlapping NIR‐II probes with markedly suppressed photon scattering zero‐autofluorescence reported, which enables visualization of metastatic proximal LNs resection. A bright tumor‐seeking...

Current chemodynamic therapy (CDT) primarily relies on the delivery of transition metal ions with Fenton activity to trigger hydroxyl radical production from hydrogen peroxide. However, administration an excess amount exogenous Fenton-type heavy metals may cause potential adverse effects human health, including acute and chronic damages. Here, we present a new CDT strategy that uses intracellular labile iron pool (LIP) as endogenous source Fenton-reactive for eliciting free generation,...

Abstract Immunogenic cell death (ICD) and tumour-infiltrating T lymphocytes are severely weakened by elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the tumour microenvironment. It is therefore of critical importance to modulate level extracellular ROS for reversal immunosuppressive environment. Here, we present a matrix (ECM) targeting nanoscavenger masked pH sensitive covalently crosslinked polyethylene glycol. The anchors on ECM sweep away from microenvironment relieve ICD elicited specific...

ConspectusCancer vaccines have shown tremendous potential in preventing and treating cancer by providing immunogenic antigens to initiate specific tumor immune responses. An situ vaccine prepared from an autologous can mobilize a patient's own cell lysate as reservoir of antigens, thus triggering broad response diverse antitumor immunity individually tailored manner. Its efficacy is much better than that conventional with limited number epitopes. Several therapies, including radiotherapy...

Abstract Nanomedicines with photodynamic therapy and reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐triggered drug release capabilities are promising for cancer therapy. However, most of the nanomedicines based on ROS‐responsive nanocarriers still suffer from serious ROS consumption during triggered process. Herein, a photodynamic‐chemodynamic cascade strategy design delivery nanosystem is proposed.

Abstract Tumor heterogeneity is one major reason for unpredictable therapeutic outcomes, while stratifying responses at an early time may greatly benefit the better control of cancer. Here, we developed a hybrid nanovesicle to stratify radiotherapy response by activatable inflammation magnetic resonance imaging (aiMRI) approach. The high Pearson’s correlation coefficient R values are obtained from correlations between T 1 relaxation changes 24–48 h and ensuing adaptive immunity ( = 0.9831)...
