    Abstract Inflammatory processes are often accompanied by oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, which might lead to cellular and organ damage. Carnosic acid (CA), an active component found in rosemary, exhibits pharmacological properties including antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral effects. The aim of this research was to investigate whether CA can mitigate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in poultry and to understand its underlying mechanisms. We administered CA to broiler chickens via oral gavage and treated them with LPS, followed by analysis of the effects of different dosages of CA on body weight, antioxidative capacity, and inflammatory factors. Carnosic acid had no significant impact on the body weight of broiler chickens. However, serum analysis indicated that the middle dose of CA effectively enhanced the antioxidative capacity and reduced levels of oxidative stress and inflammation-related factors. Moreover, in the liver, CA demonstrated the ability to regulate the expression of proteins such as heat shock protein 60 (HSP60), heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), and P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (P38), suggesting its protective role against liver damage induced by LPS. In the intestinal tract of broiler chickens, CA regulated the expression and localization of proteins including HSP60, HSP70, NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 2 (Nrf2), and P38, while also influencing the expression of inflammatory markers such as protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type C (CD45), and connexin (Cx). These findings revealed the potential protective mechanisms of CA in alleviating oxidative stress and inflammatory damage induced by LPS in poultry. Carnosic acid notably enhanced the chickens' antioxidative capacity by modulating the expression of key proteins, thereby reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory response levels. This study provides a deeper comprehension of the protective mechanisms of CA and its potential impact on avian health.

    Abstract Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising strategy for cancer treatment. However, a poor tissue penetration of activation light and low target specificity seriously hindered the clinical application of PDT. Here, we designed and constructed a size-controllable nanosystem (UPH) with inside-out responsive for deep PDT with enhanced biosafety. To obtain nanoparticles with the best quantum yield, a series of core-shell nanoparticles (UCNP@nPCN) with different thicknesses were synthesized by a layer-by-layer self-assembly method to incorporate a porphyritic porous coordination network (PCN) onto the surface of upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs), followed by coating with hyaluronic acid (HA) on the surface of nanoparticles with optimized thickness to form the UPH nanoparticles. With the aid of HA, the UPH nanoparticles were capable of preferentially enriching in tumor sites and specific endocytosis by CD44 receptors as well as responsive degradation by hyaluronidase in cancer cells after intravenous administration. Subsequently, after being activated by strong penetrating 980 nm near-infrared light (NIR), the UPH nanoparticles efficiently converted oxygen into strongly oxidizing reactive oxygen species based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect, thereby significantly inhibiting tumor growth. Experimental results in vitro and in vivo indicated that such dual-responsive nanoparticles successfully realize the photodynamic therapy of deep-seated cancer with negligible side effects, which showed great potential for potential clinical translational research.

    Abstract In this article, an adenosine-triphosphate-regulated (ATP-regulated) ion transport nanosystem [SQU@PCN, porphyrinic porous coordination network (PCN) incorporated with squaramide (SQU)] was designed and synthesized for homeostatic perturbation therapy (HPT) and sensitizing photodynamic therapy (PDT) of tumors. It was found that this nanotransporter SQU@PCN easily accumulated in tumor sites while avoiding metabolic clearance and side effects. In response to a high expression of ATP in the tumor, SQU@PCN was decomposed because of the strong coordination of ATP with metal ligand of PCN. Subsequently, incorporated SQU was released and then simultaneously transported chloride ions across membrane of the cell and lysosome along with the chloride ion concentration gradient. On one hand, influx of chloride ions by SQU increased intracellular ion concentration, which disrupted ion homeostasis and further induced tumor cell apoptosis. On the other hand, SQU-medicated coupling transport of H

    Abstract Here, a Mn(III)-sealed metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosystem based on coordination between Mn(III) and porphyrin (TCPP) via a one-pot method was designed and constructed. Mn(III), as a sealer, not only quenched TCPP-based fluorescence but also inhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, which made MOFs an "inert" theranostic nanoparticle. Interestingly, upon endocytosis by tumor cells, MOFs were disintegrated into Mn(II) and free TCPP by intracellular glutathione (GSH) in tumor cells, owing to redox reaction between Mn(III) and GSH. This disintegration would lead to consumption of antioxidant GSH and activated Mn(II)-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as well as TCPP-based fluorescent imaging. More importantly, such a GSH-regulated TCPP release could implement controllable ROS generation under irradiation, which avoided side effects (inflammation and damage of normal tissues). As a consequence, after unlocking by GSH, Mn(III)-sealed MOFs could significantly improve the therapeutic efficiency of photodynamic therapy by combining controlled ROS generation and GSH depletion after precise dual tumor homing.

    Abstract This study reports a tumor-specific ROS-responsive nanoplatform capable of the combination of nitric oxide (NO)-based gas therapy and sensitized photodynamic therapy (PDT). The nanoplatform is constructed on porous coordination network (PCN), which contains NO donor L-Arg and is concurrently coated with cancer cell membrane (L-Arg@PCN@Mem). Under near infrared light (NIR) irradiation, L-Arg@PCN@Mem produces plenty of reactive oxygen species (ROS) directly for PDT therapy, while a part of ROS take the role of oxidative to converse L-Arg into NO for combined gas therapy. The results indicate that the transformation of ROS to NO can enhance PDT efficacy in hypoxic tumors owing to the ability of NO in freely diffusing into deep hypoxic tumor site. Moreover, homologous targeting function originated from the coating of cancer cells membrane further improves the tumor treatment effect owing to the biotargeting toward homologous tumors. This L-Arg@PCN@Mem nanoplatform provides a new therapy paradigm of overcoming the hypoxia barrier of tumor therapy, and holds great potential for the treatment of tumor and NO-related diseases.

    Abstract Modulating tumor microenvironment to amplify the therapeutic efficiency would be a novel strategy for effective cancer treatment. In this work, based on the TPZ-loaded porphyrinic metal organic framework PCN-224 (PCN stands for porous coordination network), a cancer cell membrane-coated nanoplatform (TPZ@PCN@Mem) was fabricated for tumor targeted PDT and the successively resulting hypoxia-amplified bioreductive therapy. After administration, TPZ@PCN@Mem exhibited the selective accumulation and long-term retention at tumor tissue due to the immune escape and homologous targeting endowed by the cancer membrane coating. Upon light irradiation, PCN-224-mediated toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) were generated for PDT, and the resulting local hypoxia microenvironment would further accelerate the activation of TPZ for enhanced chemotherapy in 4T1 orthotopic tumor. The cascade synergistic therapeutic effects of TPZ@PCN@Mem could significantly suppress the primary tumor growth, and also inhibit its distal metastasis with minimal side effects. The study indicated an overwhelming superiority of utilizing this bioinspired strategy for tumor targeted PDT and hypoxia-activated bioreductive therapy, which provided a new insight for precise and effective tumor treatment.

    Abstract Intracellularly biotriggered decomposition of gene vectors is generally thought to benefit transfection. However, the bioresponsiveness is far from satisfactory, and the exact role of biodecomposition in the transfection process remains unclear to date. To overcome the challenges, highly rapid bioresponse of vectors has to be achieved so as to greatly amplify the intracellular deviation compared with the noncontrolled pattern. To this end, a supramolecular polyrotaxane has been elaborately designed by integrating reversible dynamics of supramolecular assembly and chemically labile bonds, in order to effectively propel intracellular decomposition. Inside tumor cells, the redox-responsive bulk dissociation of the supramolecular vector readily took place and was further accelerated by the lysosomal-acidity-triggered terminal decomposition. Both the in vitro and in vivo experiments have demonstrated that this supramolecule could mediate considerably more rapid gene accumulation in nuclei than the nonresponsive controls including PEI25K, the gold standard of nonviral vectors. Along with the structural decomposition, the supramolecule simultaneously underwent the transition of fluorescence quenching, favoring the evaluation over the bioresponsiveness inside cells. Based on the resulting data, it is suggested that the biotriggered volume expansion of supramolecule/DNA complexes may be the major factor accounting for that dramatically accelerated transnuclear gene transport during cellular mitosis, thus affecting the transfection. This study offers an understanding of the intracellular gene transport from a new viewpoint.
