Effect of lignin on the structure-property behavior of metal-coordinated and chemically crosslinked ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer composites.

The efficient development and utilization of green biomass-based macromolecule engineering materials are essential for the sustainable development of human civilization. In this study, lignin-based ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer (EPDM) composites with excellent mechanical performance were fabricated using a simple method. The effects of water-insoluble enzymatically hydrolyzed lignin (EL) and alkali lignin (KL) on the mechanical performance of the composites were investigated separately. The results showed that the tensile strength of EPDM reinforced with KL and EL increased to 24.5 MPa and 22.1 MPa, respectively, surpassing that of the carbon black (CB)-reinforced EPDM. After 72 h of thermo-oxidative aging, the retention rates of the tensile strength and elongation at break in the lignin-reinforced EPDM were much better than those formed with pure CB, indicating that lignin significantly improved the thermo-oxidative aging resistance of the composites. In summary, the Zn2+ coordination bonds formed between the interface of EPDM and lignin in lignin/CB/EPDM ternary composites effectively improved the mechanical performance and aging resistance of the composites. This study has significant implications for enhancing the utilization of lignin and green functional polymer materials.

Hypoxia­regulated exosomal miR­185 inhibits esophageal squamous cell carcinoma progression and predicts prognosis.

Despite advances in treatment and diagnosis, the prognosis of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains poor. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are associated with prognosis in esophageal cancer, indicating that they may help guide treatment decisions. The aim of the present study was to explore exosomal miR-185 as a candidate prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in ESCC, to investigate its biological function and clinical significance, and to ascertain the applicability of circulating exosomal miR-185 for the development of targeted drugs for ESCC treatment. A GeneChip miRNA array was used to compare exosomal miRNA expression in ESCC cell lines under hypoxia with those under normoxia. Exosomal miR-185 expression was then confirmed by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Patient background and prognosis were compared between high and low miR-185 expression groups. Functional analyses were performed to evaluate the antitumor effects of miR-185 in ESCC cells. Global Gene Set Enrichment Analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas data was also performed, and differentially expressed exosomal miRNAs under hypoxia were identified compared to those under normoxia. Hypoxia markedly decreased the expression of exosomal miR-185 in KYSE-960 and T.Tn cell culture media. Overexpression of miR-185 suppressed the migration, invasion and colony-forming abilities of ESCC lines, and also suppressed cell cycle progression and promoted apoptosis after cisplatin treatment. Notably, high miR-185 expression was associated with signaling pathways related to cell death, DNA damage and p53. Furthermore, circulating exosomal miR-185 levels were associated with cN and cStage, and could predict progression-free survival and disease-specific survival of patients with ESCC after initial treatment. In conclusion, miR-185 holds potential as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in ESCC.

Fortifying nematode resistance through susceptibility gene inactivation.

The predominant genetic defense mechanism against soybean cyst nematode (SCN) in 95% of the North America market is under threat by virulent SCN populations. Usovsky et al. identified GmSNAP02 as an SCN susceptibility gene through fine-mapping of unique bi-parental populations. Loss-of-function of GmSNAP02 confers enhanced resistance to more virulent SCN.

Downregulation of Serum PTEN Expression in Mercury-Exposed Population and PI3K/AKT Pathway-Induced Inflammation.

Objective: This study investigated the impact of occupational mercury (Hg) exposure on human gene transcription and expression, and its potential biological mechanisms. Methods: Differentially expressed genes related to Hg exposure were identified and validated using gene expression microarray analysis and extended validation. Hg-exposed cell models and PTEN low-expression models were established in vitro using 293T cells. PTEN gene expression was assessed using qRT-PCR, and Western blotting was used to measure PTEN, AKT, and PI3K protein levels. IL-6 expression was determined by ELISA. Results: Combined findings from gene expression microarray analysis, bioinformatics, and population expansion validation indicated significant downregulation of the PTEN gene in the high-concentration Hg exposure group. In the Hg-exposed cell model (25 and 10 µmol/L), a significant decrease in PTEN expression was observed, accompanied by a significant increase in PI3K, AKT, and IL-6 expression. Similarly, a low-expression cell model demonstrated that PTEN gene knockdown led to a significant decrease in PTEN protein expression and a substantial increase in PI3K, AKT, and IL-6 levels. Conclusion: This is the first study to report that Hg exposure downregulates the PTEN gene, activates the PI3K/AKT regulatory pathway, and increases the expression of inflammatory factors, ultimately resulting in kidney inflammation.

Regulation of Root Exudation in Wheat Plants in Response to Alkali Stress.

Soil alkalization is an important environmental factor limiting crop production. Despite the importance of root secretion in the response of plants to alkali stress, the regulatory mechanism is unclear. In this study, we applied a widely targeted metabolomics approach using a local MS/MS data library constructed with authentic standards to identify and quantify root exudates of wheat under salt and alkali stresses. The regulatory mechanism of root secretion in alkali-stressed wheat plants was analyzed by determining transcriptional and metabolic responses. Our primary focus was alkali stress-induced secreted metabolites (AISMs) that showed a higher secretion rate in alkali-stressed plants than in control and salt-stressed plants. This secretion was mainly induced by high-pH stress. We discovered 55 AISMs containing -COOH groups, including 23 fatty acids, 4 amino acids, 1 amino acid derivative, 7 dipeptides, 5 organic acids, 9 phenolic acids, and 6 others. In the roots, we also discovered 29 metabolites with higher levels under alkali stress than under control and salt stress conditions, including 2 fatty acids, 3 amino acid derivatives, 1 dipeptide, 2 organic acids, and 11 phenolic acids. These alkali stress-induced accumulated carboxylic acids may support continuous root secretion during the response of wheat plants to alkali stress. In the roots, RNAseq analysis indicated that 5 6-phosphofructokinase (glycolysis rate-limiting enzyme) genes, 16 key fatty acid synthesis genes, and 122 phenolic acid synthesis genes have higher expression levels under alkali stress than under control and salt stress conditions. We propose that the secretion of multiple types of metabolites with a -COOH group is an important pH regulation strategy for alkali-stressed wheat plants. Enhanced glycolysis, fatty acid synthesis, and phenolic acid synthesis will provide more energy and substrates for root secretion during the response of wheat to alkali stress.

T6SS and T4SS redundantly secret effectors to govern the virulence and bacterial competition in Pectobacterium PccS1.

The previous studies revealed that the type VI secretion system (T6SS) has an essential role in bacterial competition and virulence in many gram-negative bacteria. However, the role of T6SS in virulence in Pectobacterium atrosepticum remains controversial. We examined a closely related strain, PccS1, and discovered that its T6SS comprises a single copy cluster of 17 core genes with a higher identity to homologs from P. atrosepticum. Through extensive phenotypic and functional analyses of over 220 derivatives of PccS1, we found that three of the five VgrGs could be classified into group I VgrGs. These VgrGs interacted with corresponding DUF4123 domain proteins, which were secreted outside of the membrane and were dependent on either T6SS or T4SS. This interaction directly governed virulence and competition. Meanwhile, supernatant proteomic analyses with stains defective in T6SS or/and T4SS confirm that effectors, such as FhaB, were secreted redundantly to control the virulence and suppress host callose-deposition in the course of infection. Notably, this redundant secretion mechanism between T6SS and T4SS is believed to be the first of its kind in bacteria.

Core microbes identification and synthetic microbiota construction for the production of Xiaoqu light-aroma Baijiu.

Baijiu production has relied on natural inoculated Qu as a starter culture, causing the unstable microbiota of fermentation grains, which resulted in inconsistent product quality across batches. Therefore, revealing the core microbes and constructing a synthetic microbiota during the fermentation process was extremely important for stabilizing product quality. In this study, the succession of the microbial community was analyzed by high-throughput sequencing technology, and ten core microbes of Xiaoqu light-aroma Baijiu were obtained by mathematical statistics, including Acetobacter, Bacillus, Lactobacillus, Weissella, Pichia,Rhizopus, Wickerhamomyces, Issatchenkia, Saccharomyces, and Kazachstania. Model verification showed that the core microbiota significantly affected the composition of non-core microbiota (P < 0.01) and key flavor-producing enzymes (R > 0.8, P < 0.01), thus significantly affecting the flavor of base Baijiu. Simulated fermentation validated that the core microbiota can reproduce the fermentation process and quality of Xiaoqu light-aroma Baijiu. The succession of bacteria was mainly regulated by acidity and ethanol, while the fungi, especially non-Saccharomyces cerevisiae, were mainly regulated by the initial dominant bacteria (Acetobacter, Bacillus, and Weissella). This study will play an important role in the transformation of Xiaoqu light-aroma Baijiu fermentation from natural fermentation to controlled fermentation and the identification of core microbes in other fermented foods.

Motivating factors for physical activity participation among individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A qualitative study applying the motivation, opportunity, and ability model.

OBJECTIVE: The study aims to explore the driving forces behind physical activity engagement among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, focusing on motivation, opportunity, and capability. DESIGN: A phenomenological qualitative study applied the motivation, opportunity, and capability model, conducted in two respiratory units of a Chinese university hospital. METHODS: Participants, selected by age, gender, and illness duration, included inpatients during the interview sessions and those recently discharged within six months. One-on-one semi-structured interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed by the Colaizzi seven-step method. RESULTS: Seventeen participants diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease for over one year aged between 66 (range: 42-96) participated. Three major themes were identified: Inspiring participation motivation-transitioning from recognizing significance to habit formation; Offering participation opportunities-reiterating demand for personalized strategies and ideal environmental settings; Enhancing participation capability-addressing strategies for overcoming fears, setting goals, ensuring safety, and adjusting activity levels. CONCLUSIONS: This research underscores the vital role of inspiring participation motivation, offering opportunities, and enhancing the capability for participation in effective engagement. Advocating increased attention from healthcare departments, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, improving activity guidance and counseling effectiveness, and considering individual preferences can significantly benefit those patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who hesitate or are unable to participate in physical activities, thereby increasing the dose of non-leisure time physical activity.

Targeted inhibition of pyroptosis via a carbonized nanoinhibitor for alleviating drug-induced acute kidney injury.

Pyroptosis is a form of pro-inflammatory programmed cell death and it represents a potential therapeutic target for alleviating drug-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). However, there is a lack of effective and kidney-targeted pyroptosis inhibitors for AKI treatment so far. Herein, we report a pharmacologically active carbonized nanoinhibitor (P-RCDs) derived from 3,4',5-trihydroxystilbene that can preferentially accumulate in the kidneys and ameliorate chemotherapeutic drug-induced AKI by inhibiting pyroptosis. In particular, such a carbonized nanoformulation enables the transfer of desired pyroptosis inhibitory activity as well as the radical eliminating activity to the nanoscale, endowing P-RCDs with a favorable kidney-targeting ability. In cisplatin-induced AKI mice, P-RCDs can not only pharmacologically inhibit GSDME-mediated pyroptosis in renal cells with high efficacy, but also exhibit high antioxidative activity that protects the kidneys from oxidative injury. The present study proposes a feasible but efficacious strategy to construct versatile carbonized nanomedicine for targeted delivery of the desired pharmacological activities.

LPS and ATP-induced Death of PMA-differentiated THP-1 Macrophages and its Validation.

Cell death is a fundamental process in all living organisms. The protocol establishes a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-induced phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA)-differentiated lipid deposition in human monocyte (THP-1) macrophage model to observe cell death. LPS combined with ATP is a classic inflammatory induction method, often used to study pyroptosis, but apoptosis and necroptosis also respond to stimulation by LPS/ATP. Under normal circumstances, phosphatidylserine is only localized in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane. However, in the early stages of pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis, the cell membrane remains intact and exposed to phosphatidylserine, and in the later stages, the cell membrane loses its integrity. Here, flow cytometry was used to analyze Annexin V and 7-Aminoactinomycin D (AAD) double staining to detect the cell death from the whole cells. The results show that substantial cells died after stimulation with LPS/ATP. Using scanning electron microscopy, we observe the possible forms of cell death in individual cells. The results indicate that cells may undergo pyroptosis, apoptosis, or necroptosis after stimulation with LPS/ATP. This protocol focuses on observing the death of macrophages after stimulation with LPS/ATP. The results showed that cell death after LPS and ATP stimulation is not limited to pyroptosis and that apoptosis and necrotic apoptosis can also occur, helping researchers better understand cell death after LPS and ATP stimulation and choose a better experimental method.

Integrated analysis reveals critical cisplatin-resistance regulators E2F7 contributed to tumor progression and metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Drug resistance poses a significant challenge in cancer treatment, particularly as a leading cause of therapy failure. Cisplatin, the primary drug for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) chemotherapy, shows effective treatment outcomes. However, the development of resistance against cisplatin is a major obstacle. Therefore, identifying genes resistant to cisplatin and adopting personalized treatment could significantly improve patient outcomes. METHODS: By examining transcriptome data of cisplatin-resistant LUAD cells from the GEO database, 181 genes associated with cisplatin resistance were identified. Using univariate regression analysis, random forest and multivariate regression analyses, two prognostic genes, E2F7 and FAM83A, were identified. This study developed a prognostic model utilizing E2F7 and FAM83A as key indicators. The Cell Counting Kit 8 assay, Transwell assay, and flow cytometry were used to detect the effects of E2F7 on the proliferation, migration, invasiveness and apoptosis of A549/PC9 cells. Western blotting was used to determine the effect of E2F7 on AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. RESULTS: This study has pinpointed two crucial genes associated with cisplatin resistance, E2F7 and FAM83A, and developed a comprehensive model to assist in the diagnosis, prognosis, and evaluation of relapse risk in LUAD. Analysis revealed that patients at higher risk, according to these genetic markers, had elevated levels of immune checkpoints (PD-L1 and PD-L2). The prognostic and diagnosis values of E2F7 and FAM83A were further confirmed in clinical data. Furthermore, inhibiting E2F7 in lung cancer cells markedly reduced their proliferation, migration, invasion, and increased apoptosis. In vivo experiments corroborated these findings, showing reduced tumor growth and lung metastasis upon E2F7 suppression in lung cancer models. CONCLUSION: Our study affirms the prognostic value of a model based on two DEGs, offering a reliable method for predicting the success of tumor immunotherapy in patients with LUAD. The diagnostic and predictive model based on these genes demonstrates excellent performance. In vitro, reducing E2F7 levels shows antitumor effects by blocking LUAD growth and progression. Further investigation into the molecular mechanisms has highlighted E2F7's effect on the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, underscoring its therapeutic potential. In the era of personalized medicine, this DEG-based model promises to guide clinical practice.

Pharmaceutical treatment status of patients with COPD in the community based on medical Internet of Things: a real-world study.

This study aimed to investigate the real-world standardisation and adherence of medical treatment regimens in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the community for making future management strategy. The follow-up data and treatment information of patients with COPD, which were collected through the Management Information Center of COPD (MICCOPD) in 21 community health service centres in Songjiang District, a countryside region of Shanghai. Concordance between the pharmaceutical treatment plan and recommendation of 2017 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) report during the follow-up management period, as well as the medication adherence by patients,were analysed. Out of the 2044 patients diagnosed with COPD, 814 patients (39.8%) who had an initial record of medication use were found to meet the inclusion criteria. The most common medication regimens were long-acting beta-agonist plus inhaled corticosteroids (35.9%) and oral bronchodilators (41.9%). Among these 814 patients, 45.7%, 38.0%, 31.6% and 14.6% adhered to the treatment after 6, 12, 18 and 24 months of follow-up, respectively. The concordance rate with the regimens recommended by the 2017 GOLD guidelines was 35.5% at baseline, 35.5% at 6 months, 32.7% at 12 months, 35.4% at 18 months and 37% at 24 months. The compliance and guideline consistency rates of patients with COPD in the community under the management of general practitioners need to be improved. Enhancing general practitioner proficiency in the prevention and management of COPD and increasing patient awareness of the condition, are crucial standardising and improving adherence to initial and follow-up COPD treatments.

A Solvent-Templated Porous Liquid Crystal Elastomer with Tactile Sensation beyond Reversible Actuation toward Versatile Artificial Muscles.

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), as a classical two-way shape-memory material, are good candidates for developing artificial muscles that mimic the contraction, expansion, or rotational behavior of natural muscles. However, biomimicry is currently focused more on the actuation functions of natural muscles dominated by muscle fibers, whereas the tactile sensing functions that are dominated by neuronal receptors and synapses have not been well captured. Very few studies have reported the sensing concept for LCEs, but the signals were still donated by macroscopic actuation, that is, variations in angle or length. Herein, we develop a conductive porous LCE (CPLCE) using a solvent (dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO))-templated photo-cross-linking strategy, followed by carbon nanotube (CNT) incorporation. The CPLCE has excellent reversible contraction/elongation behavior in a manner similar to the actuation functions of skeletal muscles. Moreover, the CPLCE shows excellent pressure-sensing performance by providing real-time electrical signals and is capable of microtouch sensing, which is very similar to natural tactile sensing. Furthermore, macroscopic actuation and tactile sensation can be integrated into a single system. Proof-of-concept studies reveal that the CPLCE-based artificial muscle is sensitive to external touch while maintaining its excellent actuation performance. The CPLCE with tactile sensation beyond reversible actuation is expected to benefit the development of versatile artificial muscles and intelligent robots.

An Alkaline Nanocage Continuously Activates Inflammasomes by Disrupting Multiorganelle Homeostasis for Efficient Pyroptosis.

Pyroptosis has garnered increasing attention because of its ability to trigger robust antitumor immunity. Pyroptosis is initiated by the activation of inflammasomes, which are regulated by various organelles. The collaboration among organelles offers several protective mechanisms to prevent activation of the inflammasome, thereby limiting the induction of efficient pyroptosis. Herein, a multiorganelle homeostasis disruptor (denoted BLL) is constructed by encapsulating liposomes and bortezomib (BTZ) within a layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanocage to continuously activate inflammasomes for inducing efficient pyroptosis. In lysosomes, the negatively charged liposomes are released to recruit the NLRP3 inflammasomes through electrostatic interactions. ER stress is induced by BTZ to enhance the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Meanwhile, the BLL nanocage exhibited H+-scavenging ability due to the weak alkalinity of LDH, thus disrupting the homeostasis of the lysosome and alleviating the degradation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by lysosomal-associated autophagy. Our results suggest that the BLL nanocage induces homeostatic imbalance in various organelles and efficient pyroptosis. We hope this work can provide new insights into the design of an efficient pyroptosis inducer by disrupting the homeostatic balance of multiple organelles and promote the development of novel antineoplastic platforms.

Selective Oxidation of sp-Bonded Carbon in Graphdiyne/Carbon Nanotubes Heterostructures to Form Dominant Epoxy Groups for Two-Electron Oxygen Reduction.

Two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e- ORR) is of great significance to H2O2 production and reversible nonalkaline Zn-air batteries (ZABs). Multiple oxygen-containing sp2-bonded nanocarbons have been developed as electrocatalysts for 2e- ORR, but they still suffer from poor activity and stability due to the limited and mixed active sites at the edges as well as hydrophilic character. Herein, graphdiyne (GDY) with rich sp-C bonds is studied for enhanced 2e- ORR. First, computational studies show that GDY has a favorable formation energy for producing five-membered epoxy ring-dominated groups, which is selective toward the 2e- ORR pathway. Then based on the difference in chemical activity of sp-C bonds in GDY and sp2-C bonds in CNTs, we experimentally achieved conductive and hydrophobic carbon nanotubes (CNTs) covering O-modified GDY (CNTs/GDY-O) through a mild oxidation treatment combined with an in situ CNTs growth approach. Consequently, the CNTs/GDY-O exhibits an average Faraday efficiency of 91.8% toward H2O2 production and record stability over 330 h in neutral media. As a cathode electrocatalyst, it greatly extends the lifetime of 2e- nonalkaline ZABs at both room and subzero temperatures.

Ultrasound-Responsive Aligned Piezoelectric Nanofibers Derived Hydrogel Conduits for Peripheral Nerve Regeneration.

Nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) are considered as promising treatment strategy and frontier trend for peripheral nerve regeneration, while their therapeutic outcomes are limited by the lack of controllable drug delivery and available physicochemical cues. Herein, novel aligned piezoelectric nanofibers derived hydrogel NGCs with ultrasound (US)-triggered electrical stimulation (ES) and controllable drug release for repairing peripheral nerve injury are proposed. The inner layer of the NGCs is the barium titanate piezoelectric nanoparticles (BTNPs)-doped polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene [BTNPs/P(VDF-TrFE)] electrospinning nanofibers with improved piezoelectricity and aligned orientation. The outer side of the NGCs is the thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) hybrid hydrogel with bioactive drug encapsulation. Such NGCs can not only induce neuronal-oriented extension and promote neurite outgrowth with US-triggered wireless ES, but also realize the controllable nerve growth factor release with the hydrogel shrinkage under US-triggered heating. Thus, the NGC can positively accelerate the functional recovery and nerve axonal regeneration of rat models with long sciatic nerve defects. It is believed that the proposed US-responsive aligned piezoelectric nanofibers derived hydrogel NGCs will find important applications in clinic neural tissue engineering.

The c-Fos/AP-1 inhibitor inhibits sulfur mustard-induced chondrogenesis impairment in zebrafish larvae.

Sulfur mustard (SM, dichlorodiethyl sulfide) is a potent erosive chemical poison that can cause pulmonary lung, skin and eye disease complications in humans. Currently, there is no designated remedy for SM, and its operation's toxicological process remains unidentified. This work employed zebrafish as a model organism to investigate the toxic manifestations and mechanisms of exposure to SM, aiming to offer novel insights for preventing and treating this condition. The results showed that SM caused a decrease in the survival rate of the zebrafish larvae (LC50 = 2.47 mg/L), a reduction in the hatching rate, an increase in the pericardial area, and small head syndrome. However, T-5224 (a selective inhibitor of c-Fos/activator protein) attenuated the reduction in mortality (LC50 = 2.79 mg/L), the reduction in hatching rate, and the worsening of morphological changes. We discovered that SM causes cartilage developmental disorders in zebrafish larvae. The reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction found that SM increased the expression of inflammation-related genes (IL-1ß, IL-6, and TNF-α) and significantly increased cartilage development-related gene expression (fosab, mmp9, and atf3). However, the expression of sox9a, sox9b, and Col2a1a was reduced. The protein level detection also found an increase in c-fos protein expression and a significant decrease in COL2A1 expression. However, T-5224,also and mitigated the changes in gene expression, and protein levels caused by SM exposure. The results of this study indicate that SM-induced cartilage development disorders are closely related to the c-Fos/AP-1 pathway in zebrafish.

Aggregation-induced emission photosensitizer for antibacterial therapy of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

A cationic aggregation-induced emission photosensitizer (AIE-PS) MNNPyBB has been reported to have antibacterial effects against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The bacterial kill mechanism has been investigated and elucidated. In a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus subcutaneous infection model, wound closure has been achieved with normal re-epithelialization and preserved skin morphology.

Mitochondria-mediated self-cycling nanoreactor enabling uninterrupted oxidative damage for enhanced chemodynamic therapy.

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), which employs intracellular H2O2 to produce toxic hydroxyl radicals to kill cancer cells, has received great attention due to its specificity to tumors. However, the relatively insufficient endogenous H2O2 and the short-lifetime and limited diffusion distance of •OH compromise the therapeutic efficacy of CDT. Mitochondria, which play crucial roles in oncogenesis, are highly vulnerable to elevated oxidative stress. Herein, we constructed a mitochondria-mediated self-cycling system to achieve high dose of •OH production through continuous H2O2 supply. Cinnamaldehyde (CA), which can elevate H2O2 level in the mitochondria, was loaded in Cu(II)-containing metal organic framework (MOF), termed as HKUST-1. After actively targeting mitochondria, the intrinsic H2O2 in mitochondria of cancer cells could induce degradation of MOF, releasing the initial free CA. The released CA further triggered the upregulation of endogenous H2O2, resulting in the subsequent adequate release of CA and the final burst growth of H2O2. The cycle process greatly promoted the Fenton-like reaction between Cu2+ and H2O2 and induced long-term high oxidative stress, achieving enhanced chemodynamic therapy. In a word, we put forward an efficient strategy for enhanced chemodynamic therapy.
