Lanthanide nanocrystals-based direct triple-state energy converters for mitophagy and ferroptosis-induced antitumor immunoreaction.

Achieving multiple antitumor efficacy in a single nanostructure is important for the development of photo-functional nanomedicines. In this paper, we report a direct triplet state energy converter (NCPRB) based on lanthanide nanocrystals, which can reduce the loss of near-infrared (NIR) light and improve the efficiency of generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) to induce ferroptosis through the process of direct energy transfer from rare earth ions (Nd) to the triplet state of the photosensitive molecule (chlorin e6, Ce6). Experimental results showed that the generated ROS combined with loaded resveratrol (RES) inhibited oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and electron transport chain (ETC) processes in the mitochondria of tumor cells and induced the onset of mitochondrial autophagy.

Immunotherapy, a pivotal and promising approach for tumor treatment, has demonstrated prominent clinical efficacy. However, its effectiveness is often impeded by insufficient antitumor immune responses attributed to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). The combination of immune activation through the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway and phototherapy holds great potential for surmounting this challenge in advanced tumor immunotherapy.

Fabrication, spectroscopic and photofunctional studies of layered lutetium-dysprosium hydroxides.

Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc

The spectroscopic studies of layered rare-earth hydroxides (LRHs) have aroused great interests owing to the unique features of combing rare-earth ions with diverse anions. In this work, some anions were incorporated into layered lutetium-dysprosium hydroxides (LLuH:Dy) by the hydrothermal and ion exchange process, in which Dy ion acted as the emission center. The results manifest that the assemblies possess clearly lamellar structure and flake shape, and emit the characteristic yellow and blue light of Dy under ultraviolet excitation.
