摘要：Drug administration customized to individual cells could intrinsically address cancer heterogeneity and provide a safe and effective method for delivering personalized treatment. To accomplish this, we developed a smart nanodrug delivery system characterized by cancer cell-targeted drug delivery and intracellular biomarker-responsive drug activation. This system was composed of a long-nicked DNA duplex formed by tandem hybridization of two extended antisense oligonucleotides whose ends were separately blocked with a cancer cell-specific aptamer, AS1411,and a replaceable anti-biomarker probe(ABP). We demonstrated that this DNA nanodrug was directed to cancer cells with the guidance power of AS 1411 and then activated by the presence of a given intracellular biomarker. By using such a belt-and-braces strategy, this DNA nanodrug system could safely and efficiently accelerate apoptosis of target cancer cells. Moreover, since the expression level of biomarkers tends to indicate the specific physiological state of individual cells, biomarker-responsive activation of the nanodrug is expected to enable customized drug administration at the cellular level.

摘要：Chlorin e6-pHLIPss-AuNRs, a gold nanorod-photosensitizer conjugate containing a pH （low） insertion peptide （pHLIP） with a disulfide bond which imparts extracellular pH （pHe）-driven tumor targeting ability, has been successfully developed for bimodal photodynamic and photothermal therapy. In this bimodal therapy, chlorin e6 （Ce6）, a second-generation photosensitizer （PS）, is used for photodynamic therapy （PDT）. Gold nanorods （AuNRs） are used as a hyperthermia agent for photothermal therapy （PTT） and also as a nanocarrier and quencher of Ce6. pHLIPss is designed as a pile-driven targeting probe to enhance accumulation of Ce6 and AuNRs in cancer cells at low pH. In Ce6- pHLIPss-AuNRs, Ce6 is close to and quenched by AuNRs, causing little PDT effect. When exposed to normal physiological pH 7.4, Ce6-pHLIPs^-AuNRs loosely associate with the cell membrane. However, once exposed to acidic pH 6.2, pHLIP actively inserts into the cell membrane, and the conjugates are translocated into cells. When this occurs, Ce6 separates from the AuNRs as a result of disulfide bond cleavage caused by intracellular glutathione （GSH）, and singlet oxygen is produced for PDT upon light irradiation. In addition, as individual PTT agent, AuNRs can enhance the accumulation of PSs in the tumor by the enhanced permeation and retention （EPR） effect. Therefore, as indicated by our data, when exposed to acidic pH, Ce6-pHLIPss-AuNRs can achieve synergistic PTT/PDT bimodality for cancer treatment.

摘要：The optoelectronic properties of atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDs)are largely influenced by defect populations(DPs).In this work,we fabricate WSmonolayers with different DPs by varying the fabrication methods and further reveal their distinct exciton-exciton ***-state photoluminescence(PL)experiments show that the monolayer with the lowest DP shows optimal PL intensity at low excitation power;however,it is overtaken and significantly surpassed by monolayers with higher DPs at high excitation ***-power-dependent experiments demonstrate that these monolayers exhibit distinct PL saturation behaviors with the threshold power differing by four orders of *** with in situ PL imaging and time-resolved PL experiments,we attribute such PL evolution discrepancies to the different DPs within these monolayers,which largely influence the exciton diffusion behavior and subsequently bring about distinct nonradiative exciton-exciton annihilations(EEAs).Valley polarization experiments are further employed to re-examine the DPs of these *** work reveals the distinct PL behaviors and underlying exciton dynamics in TMD monolayers with different DPs,which can largely facilitate the engineering of relevant high-performance devices for practical applications.
