Ceria nanoparticles: biomedical applications and toxicity. / 二氧化铈纳米颗粒：生物医学应用和毒性.

Ceria nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) have become popular materials in biomedical and industrial fields due to their potential applications in anti-oxidation, cancer therapy, photocatalytic degradation of pollutants, sensors, etc. Many methods, including gas phase, solid phase, liquid phase, and the newly proposed green synthesis method, have been reported for the synthesis of CeO2 NPs. Due to the wide application of CeO2 NPs, concerns about their adverse impacts on human health have been raised. This review covers recent studies on the biomedical applications of CeO2 NPs, including their use in the treatment of various diseases (e.|g., Alzheimer's disease, ischemic stroke, retinal damage, chronic inflammation, and cancer). CeO2 NP toxicity is discussed in terms of the different systems of the human body (e.|g., cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, respiratory toxicity, neurotoxicity, and hepatotoxicity). This comprehensive review covers both fundamental discoveries and exploratory progress in CeO2 NP research that may lead to practical developments in the future.

Advancing Simultaneous Extraction and Sequential Single-Particle ICP-MS Analysis for Metallic Nanoparticle Mixtures in Plant Tissues.

Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) have been increasingly used in agricultural operations, leading to an urgent need for robust methods to analyze co-occurring ENPs in plant tissues. In response, this study advanced the simultaneous extraction of coexisting silver, cerium oxide, and copper oxide ENPs in lettuce shoots and roots using macerozyme R-10 and analyzed them by single-particle inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Additionally, the standard stock suspensions of the ENPs were stabilized with citrate, and the long-term stability (up to 5 months) was examined for the first time. The method performance results displayed satisfactory accuracies and precisions and achieved low particle concentration and particle size detection limits. Significantly, the oven drying process was proved not to impact the properties of the ENPs; therefore, oven-dried lettuce tissues were used in this study, which markedly expanded the applicability of this method. This robust methodology provides a timely approach to characterize and quantify multiple coexisting ENPs in plants.

CeO2 nanoparticle dose and exposure modulate soybean development and plant-mediated responses in root-associated bacterial communities.

Agricultural soils are increasingly undergoing inadvertent and purposeful exposures to engineered CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs), which can impact crops and root-associated microbial communities. However, interactions between NP concentration and exposure duration on plant-mediated responses of root-associated bacterial communities are not well understood. Soybeans seedlings were grown in soil with uncoated NPs added at concentrations of 0, 1 or 100 mg kg-1. Total soil exposure durations were either 190 days, starting 106 days before planting or 84 days with NP amendments coinciding with planting. We assessed plant development, bacterial diversity, differential abundance and inferred functional changes across rhizosphere, rhizoplane, and root tissue compartments. Plant non-monotonic dose responses were mirrored in bacterial communities. Most notably, effects were magnified in the rhizoplane under low-dose, short-exposures. Enriched metabolic pathways were primarily related to biosynthesis and degradation/utilization/assimilation, rather than responses to metals or oxidative stress. Our results indicate that plant-mediated bacterial responses were greater than direct NP impacts. Also, we identify needs for modeling non-monotonic legume stress responses that account for coinfection with mutualistic and parasitic bacteroids. Our findings provide new insights regarding effects of applications of soil amendments such as biosolids containing NPs or nano-enabled formulations used in cultivation of legumes and other crops.

hCeO2@ Cu5.4O nanoparticle alleviates inflammatory responses by regulating the CTSB-NLRP3 signaling pathway.

Inflammatory responses, especially chronic inflammation, are closely associated with many systemic diseases. There are many ways to treat and alleviate inflammation, but how to solve this problem at the molecular level has always been a hot topic in research. The use of nanoparticles (NPs) as anti-inflammatory agents is a potential treatment method. We synthesized new hollow cerium oxide nanomaterials (hCeO2 NPs) doped with different concentrations of Cu5.4O NPs [the molar ratio of Cu/(Ce + Cu) was 50%, 67%, and 83%, respectively], characterized their surface morphology and physicochemical properties, and screened the safe concentration of hCeO2@Cu5.4O using the CCK8 method. Macrophages were cultured, and P.g-lipopolysaccharide-stimulated was used as a model of inflammation and co-cultured with hCeO2@Cu5.4O NPs. We then observe the effect of the transcription levels of CTSB, NLRP3, caspase-1, ASC, IL-18, and IL-1ß by PCR and detect its effect on the expression level of CTSB protein by Western blot. The levels of IL-18 and IL-1ß in the cell supernatant were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Our results indicated that hCeO2@Cu5.4O NPs could reduce the production of reactive oxygen species and inhibit CTSB and NLRP3 to alleviate the damage caused by the inflammatory response to cells. More importantly, hCeO2@Cu5.4O NPs showed stronger anti-inflammatory effects as Cu5.4O NP doping increased. Therefore, the development of the novel nanomaterial hCeO2@Cu5.4O NPs provides a possible new approach for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Injectable hydrogel with doxorubicin-loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles for tumor postoperative treatments and wound repair.

The need for tumor postoperative treatments aimed at recurrence prevention and tissue regeneration have raised wide considerations in the context of the design and functionalization of implants. Herein, an injectable hydrogel system encapsulated with anti-tumor, anti-oxidant dual functional nanoparticles has been developed in order to prevent tumor relapse after surgery and promote wound repair. The utilization of biocompatible gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) was geared towards localized therapeutic intervention. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8@ceric oxide (ZIF-8@CeO2, ZC) nanoparticles (NPs) were purposefully devised for their proficiency as reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers. Furthermore, injectable GelMA hydrogels loaded with ZC NPs carrying doxorubicin (ZC-DOX@GEL) were tailored as multifunctional postoperative implants, ensuring the efficacious eradication of residual tumor cells and alleviation of oxidative stress. In vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to substantiate the efficacy in cancer cell elimination and the prevention of tumor recurrence through the synergistic chemotherapy approach employed with ZC-DOX@GEL. The acceleration of tissue regeneration and in vitro ROS scavenging attributes of ZC@GEL were corroborated using rat models of wound healing. The results underscore the potential of the multifaceted hydrogels presented herein for their promising application in tumor postoperative treatments.

Dual-mode photoelectrochemical radar based on CdS quantum dot and Ce-MOF for detection of low-abundance disease-associated proteins.

Herein, we developed a convenient and versatile dual-mode electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and photoelectrochemistry (PEC) sensing radar for the detection of Prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which has important implications for detection of low-abundance disease-associated proteins. Cerium-based metal-organic framework (Ce-MOFs) were firstly modified on the electrode, showing well ECL and PEC property. In particular, a unique multifunctional Au@CdS quantum dots (QDs) probe loaded numerous QDs and antibody was fabricated, not only displaying strong ECL and PEC signals, but also having specific recognition to PSA. After the signal probe was linked to the electrode by immune reaction, much amplified signals of ECL and PEC were generated for double-mode detection of PSA. Therefore, this work proposed a multifunctional Au@CdS QDs signal probe with excellent ECL and PEC performance, and developed an ultrasensitive photoelectric biosensing platform for dual-mode detection, which provides an effective method for health monitoring of cancer patients.

CeO2 nanocages with tetra-enzyme mimetic activities for dual-channel ratiometric colorimetric detection of microcystins-LR.

BACKGROUND: Microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR) produced by various cyanobacteria during harmful algal bloom poses serious threats to drinking water safety and human health. Conventional chromatography-based detection methods require expensive instruments and complicated sample pretreatment, limiting their application for on-site detection. Colorimetric aptasensors are simple and rapid, and are amenable to fast detection. However, they provide only one output signal, resulting in poor sensitivity and accuracy. Dual-channel ratiometric colorimetric method based on the peroxidase-like activity of nanozyme can achieve self-calibration by recording two reverse signals, providing significantly enhanced sensitivity and accuracy. RESULTS: CeO2 nanocages (CeO2 NCs) with tetra-enzyme mimetic activities (oxidase-, peroxidase-, catalase- and superoxide dismutase-like activities) were facilely synthesized using zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) as sacrificial template. The peroxidase-like activity of CeO2 NCs can be regulated by DNA, and it showed opposite response to two chromogenic substrates (2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)), which was mainly attributed to the changed affinity. On the basis of MC-LR aptamer-tunable peroxidase-like activity of CeO2 NCs in TMB and ABTS channel, a dual-channel ratiometric colorimetric aptasensor was constructed for detection of MC-LR. Compared with conventional single-signal colorimetric assays, the proposed method showed lower limit of detection (0.66 pg mL-1) and significantly enhanced sensitivity. Moreover, the practicability of the ratiometric colorimetric assay was demonstrated by detecting MC-LR in real water samples, and satisfactory recoveries (94.9-101.9 %) and low relative standard deviations (1.6-6.3 %) were obtained. SIGNIFICANCE: This work presents a nanozyme-based ratiometric colorimetric aptasensor for MC-LR detection by recording the reverse responses of two chromogenic reactions. Benefiting from the self-calibration function, the method can achieve higher sensitivity and accuracy. The short detection time and practical application in real water samples show great potential for environmental monitoring.

Janus Nanofibrous Patch with In Situ Grown Superlubricated Skin for Soft Tissue Repair with Inhibited Postoperative Adhesion.

The patch with a superlubricated surface shows great potential for the prevention of postoperative adhesion during soft tissue repair. However, the existing patches suffer from the destruction of topography during superlubrication coating and lack of pro-healing capability. Herein, we demonstrate a facile and versatile strategy to develop a Janus nanofibrous patch (J-NFP) with antiadhesion and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging functions. Specifically, sequential electrospinning is performed with initiators and CeO2 nanoparticles (CeNPs) embedded on the different sides, followed by subsurface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization for grafting zwitterionic polymer brushes, introducing superlubricated skin on the surface of single nanofibers. The poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) brush-grafted patch retains fibrous topography and shows a coefficient of friction of around 0.12, which is reduced by 77% compared with the pristine fibrous patch. Additionally, a significant reduction in protein, platelet, bacteria, and cell adhesion is observed. More importantly, the CeNPs-embedded patch enables ROS scavenging as well as inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and promotes anti-inflammatory cytokine levels. Furthermore, the J-NFP can inhibit tissue adhesion and promote repair of both rat skin wounds and intrauterine injuries. The present strategy for developing the Janus patch exhibits enormous prospects for facilitating soft tissue repair.

Molecular Mechanisms in Metal Oxide Nanoparticle-Tryptophan Interactions.

One of the crucial metabolic processes for both plant and animal kingdoms is the oxidation of the amino acid tryptophan (TRP) that regulates plant growth and controls hunger and sleeping patterns in animals. Here, we report revolutionary insights into how this process can be crucially affected by interactions with metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), creating a toolbox for a plethora of important biomedical and agricultural applications. Molecular mechanisms in TRP-NP interactions were revealed by NMR and optical spectroscopy for ceria and titania and by X-ray single-crystal study and a computational study of model TRP-polyoxometalate complexes, which permitted the visualization of the oxidation mechanism at an atomic level. Nanozyme activity, involving concerted proton and electron transfer to the NP surface for oxides with a high oxidative potential, like CeO2 or WO3, converted TRP in the first step into a tricyclic organic acid belonging to the family of natural plant hormones, auxins. TiO2, a much poorer oxidant, was strongly binding TRP without concurrent oxidation in the dark but oxidized it nonspecifically via the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in daylight.

In-situ growth of CeO2 on biofilms: Innovative nanoparticles for photothermal therapy & multi-pronged attack on Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is complex and multifactorial, and its pathogenesis involves multiple factors and processes. This study pioneered the in situ growth of cerium oxide nanoparticles on macrophage membranes (Ce-RAW). Further, carbon quantum dots (CQD) were biomimetically modified by Ce-RAW, leading to the synthesis of a multifunctional nanocomposite (CQD-Ce-RAW). Within the framework of this research, CQD-Ce-RAW was strategically combined with photothermal therapy (PTT), aiming to achieve a more significant therapeutic effect. The macrophage membrane confers the system with anti-phagocytic and anti-inflammatory biological functions. More importantly, the ultra-small size of cerium oxide grown on the membrane acts as a reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger and alleviates the degree of oxidative stress. Meanwhile, CQD as a photosensitizer helps dissociate amyloid-ß (Aß) aggregates and chelates excess copper ions, thus further inhibiting Aß aggregation. Cell experiments showed that CQD-Ce-RAW combined with PTT could effectively degrade and inhibit the aggregation of Aß, remove ROS, and improve cell survival rate. The results of in vivo photothermal experiments demonstrated that near-infrared light enhanced the efficiency of drug penetration through the blood-brain barrier and facilitated its accumulation in brain tissue. This comprehensive therapeutic approach can intervene in the disease progression from multiple pathways, providing a new prospect for treating AD.

Microplastic contaminants detection in aquatic environment by hydrophobic cerium oxide nanoparticles.

Microplastics (MPs) poses a significant threat to ecosystems and human health, demanding immediate attention. The reported research work offers an effective and low cost method towards the detection of toxic MPs. In this study, hydrophobic cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) are synthesized and applied as promising electrode material for the detection of two different types of MPs, i.e. polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). Through electrochemical analyses, such as cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), hydrophobic CeO2 NPs modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) based sensor demonstrated remarkable sensitivity of ∼0.0343 AmLmg-1cm-2 and detection limit of ∼0.226 mgmL-1, with promising correlation coefficient (R2) towards the detection of PE (∼27-32 µm). Furthermore, hydrophobic CeO2 NPs modified GCE exhibited promising stability and reproducibility towards PE (∼27-32 µm), suggesting the promising potential of hydrophobic CeO2 NPs as electrode materials for an electrochemical microplastics detection.

Frustrated Lewis pairs created by Ce-doped Bi2MoO6: A universal strategy to promote efficient utilization of H2O2 for Fenton-like photodegradation.

Photo-Fenton-like technology based on H2O2 is considered as an ideal strategy to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) for antibiotic degradation, but O2 overflow in the process severely limits the utilization efficiency of H2O2. Herein, we fabricate Bi2MoO6 (BMO) photocatalyst modified with Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) as a Fenton catalyst model for enhancing reuse of spilled O2. The FLPs created by the introduction of cerium and oxygen vacancy were found to contribute to regulate the electronic structure of BMO and further improve the acidic and basic properties of photocatalyst surface. More importantly, the frustrated acid and base sites can enhance the H2O2 and O2 interfacial adsorption process and provide an Ce4+-Ov-O2- active site on the surface of Ce-BMO nanosheets, which can promote O2/•O2-/1O2/H2O2 redox cycles to achieve high H2O2 utilization efficiency. Specifically, in the experiment using tetracycline as a photocatalytic degradation object, the degradation activity of Ce-BMO was 2.15 times higher than that of BMO pure phase. Quenching experiments and EPR assays also confirmed that 1O2 and •O2- were the dominant oxidative species. This study systematically reveals the design of Fenton photocatalytic active sites at the atomic scale and provides new insights into constructing FLPs photocatalysts with high H2O2 utilization efficiency.

Enhanced interfacial effect via acid theory with boosted photocatalytic performance of nitenpyram removal.

Surface reaction is a prominent aspect that affects the efficiency of photocatalysis. In this work, acid theory was employed to facilitate the reaction dynamics and enhance the interfacial effect between photocatalysts and target molecules. The photocatalytic removal efficiency of NTP was 66 % for bare CdS in 50 min with apparent rate constants of 0.023 compare to 96 % with apparent rate constants of 0.065 for 5% Ce-CdS. The introduced Ce atom as bifunctional active site reduces the energy barrier of O2 adsorption, strengthens the interfacial effect and accelerates the electrons transfer, which could facilitate surface reaction process and boost the photocatalytic performance.

Bioactivity of cerium dioxide nanoparticles as a function of size and surface features.

Nano-dispersed cerium dioxide is promising for use in medicine due to its unique physicochemical properties, including low toxicity, the safety of in vivo usage, active participation in different redox processes occurring in living cells, and its regenerative potential, manifested in the ability of CeO2 to participate repeatedly in redox reactions. In this work, we examined the biological activity of cerium dioxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) synthesized by precipitation in mixed water/alcohol solutions at a constant pH of 9. This synthesis method allowed controlling the size and Ce3+/Ce4+ proportion on the surface of NPs, changing the synthesis conditions and obtaining highly stable suspensions of "naked" CeO2 NPs. Changes in the surface properties upon contact of CeO2 NPs with protein-rich media, e.g., bovine serum albumin and DMEM cell culture medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, the characteristics of nanoparticle uptake by mouse aortic endothelial cells and the antioxidant activity of the nanoparticles of different sizes were investigated by various state-of-the-art analytical methods.

Root-Applied Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles and Their Specific Effects on Plants: A Review.

With the pronounced increase in nanotechnology, it is likely that biological systems will be exposed to excess nanoparticles (NPs). Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) are among the most abundantly produced nanomaterials in the world. Their widespread use raises fundamental questions related to the accumulation in the environment and further interactions with living organisms, especially plants. NPs present in either soil or soilless environments are absorbed by the plant root systems and further transported to the aboveground parts. After entering the cytoplasm, NPs interact with chloroplast, nucleus, and other structures responsible for metabolic processes at the cellular level. In recent years, several studies have shown the impact of nanoceria on plant growth and metabolic processes. Research performed on different plants has shown a dual role for CeO2 NPs. The observed effects can be positive or negative and strongly depend on the plant species, characterization, and concentrations of NPs. This review describes the impact of root-applied CeO2 NPs on plant growth, photosynthesis, metal homeostasis, and parameters of induced oxidative stress.

Green Synthesis of Ceria Nanoparticles from Cassava Tubers for Electrochemical Aptasensor Detection of SARS-CoV-2 on a Screen-Printed Carbon Electrode.

Green synthesis approaches for making nanosized ceria using starch from cassava as template molecules to control the particle size are reported. The results of the green synthesis of ceria with an optimum calcination temperature of 800 °C shows a size distribution of each particle of less than 30 nm with an average size of 9.68 nm, while the ratio of Ce3+ to Ce4+ was 25.6%. The green-synthesized nanoceria are applied to increase the sensitivity and attach biomolecules to the electrode surface of the electrochemical aptasensor system for coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The response of the aptasensor to the receptor binding domain of the virus was determined with the potassium ferricyanide redox system. The screen-printed carbon electrode that has been modified with green-synthesized nanoceria shows 1.43 times higher conductivity than the bare electrode, while those modified with commercial ceria increase only 1.18 times. Using an optimized parameter for preparing the aptasensors, the detection and quantification limits were 1.94 and 5.87 ng·mL-1, and the accuracy and precision values were 98.5 and 89.1%. These results show that green-synthesized ceria could be a promising approach for fabricating an electrochemical aptasensor.

Enhancement Effect Induced by the Second Metal to Promote Ozone Catalytic Oxidation of VOCs.

It is a promising research direction to develop catalysts with high stability and ozone utilization for low-temperature ozone catalytic oxidation of VOCs. While bimetallic catalysts exhibit excellent catalytic activity compared with conventional single noble metal catalysts, limited success has been achieved in the influence of the bimetallic effect on the stability and ozone utilization of metal catalysts. Herein, it is necessary to systematically study the enhancement effect in the ozone catalytic reaction induced by the second metal. With a simple continuous impregnation method, a platinum-cerium bimetallic catalyst is prepared. Also highlighted are studies from several aspects of the contribution of the second metal (Ce) to the stability and ozone utilization of the catalysts, including the "electronic effect" and "geometric effect". The synergistic removal rate of toluene and ozone is nearly 100% at 30 °C, and it still shows positive stability after high humidity and a long reaction time. More importantly, the instructive significance, which is the in-depth knowledge of enhanced catalytic mechanism of bimetallic catalysts resulting from a second metal, is provided by this work.

Multifunctional 58S Bioactive Glass/Silver/Cerium Oxide-Based Biocomposites with Effective Antibacterial, Cytocompatibility, and Mechanical Properties.

58S bioactive glass (BG) has effective biocompatibility and bioresorbable properties for bone tissue engineering; however, it has limitations regarding antibacterial, antioxidant, and mechanical properties. Therefore, we have developed BGAC biocomposites by reinforcing 58S BG with silver and ceria nanoparticles, which showed effective bactericidal properties by forming inhibited zones of 2.13 mm (against Escherichia coli) and 1.96 mm (against Staphylococcus aureus; evidenced by disc diffusion assay) and an increment in the antioxidant properties by 39.9%. Moreover, the elastic modulus, hardness, and fracture toughness were observed to be increased by ∼84.7% (∼51.9 GPa), ∼54.5% (∼3.4 GPa), and ∼160% (∼1.3 MPam1/2), whereas the specific wear rate was decreased by ∼55.2% (∼1.9 × 10-11 m3/Nm). X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscopy confirmed the fabrication of biocomposites and the uniform distribution of the nanomaterials in the BG matrix. The addition of silver nanoparticles in the 58S BG matrix (in BGA) increased mechanical properties by composite strengthening and bactericidal properties by damaging the cytoplasmic membrane of bacterial cells. The addition of nanoceria in 58S BG (BGC) increased the antioxidant properties by 44.5% (as evidenced by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay). The resazurin reduction assay and MTT assay confirmed the effective cytocompatibility for BGAC biocomposites against mouse embryonic fibroblast cells (NIH3T3) and mouse bone marrow stromal cells. Overall, BGAC resulted in mechanical properties comparable to those of cancellous bone, and its effective antibacterial and cytocompatibility properties make it a good candidate for bone healing.

Geniposide and Harpagoside Functionalized Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles as a Potential Neuroprotective.

Alzheimer's disease is associated with protein aggregation, oxidative stress, and the role of acetylcholinesterase in the pathology of the disease. Previous investigations have demonstrated that geniposide and harpagoside protect the brain neurons, and cerium nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) have potent redox and antioxidant properties. Thus, the effect of nanoparticles of Ce NPs and geniposide and harpagoside (GH/CeO2 NPs) on ameliorating AD pathogenesis was established on AlCl3-induced AD in mice and an aggregation proteins test in vitro. Findings of spectroscopy analysis have revealed that GH/CeO2 NPs are highly stable, nano-size, spherical in shape, amorphous nature, and a total encapsulation of GH in cerium. Treatments with CeO2 NPs, GH/CeO2 NPs, and donepezil used as positive control inhibit fibril formation and protein aggregation, protect structural modifications in the BSA-ribose system, have the ability to counteract Tau protein aggregation and amyloid-ß1-42 aggregation under fibrillation condition, and are able to inhibit AChE and BuChE. While the GH/CeO2 NPs, treatment in AD induced by AlCl3 inhibited amyloid-ß1-42, substantially enhanced the memory, the cognition coordination of movement in part AD pathogenesis may be alleviated through reducing amyloidogenic pathway and AChE and BuChE activities. The findings of this work provide important comprehension of the chemoprotective activities of iridoids combined with nanoparticles. This could be useful in the development of new therapeutic methods for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Defect-rich sonosensitizers based on CeO2 with Schottky heterojunctions for boosting sonodynamic/chemodynamic synergistic therapy.

Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has been recognized as a promising treatment for cancer due to its advantages of superior specificity, non-invasiveness, and deep tissue penetration. However, the antitumor effect of SDT remains restricted by the limited generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to the lack of highly efficient sonosensitizers. In this work, we developed the novel sonosensitizer Pt/CeO2-xSx by constructing oxygen defects through S doping and Pt loading in situ. Large amounts of oxygen defects have been obtained by S doping, endowing Pt/CeO2-xSx with the ability to suppress electron-hole recombination, further promoting ROS production. Moreover, the introduction of Pt nanoparticles can not only produce oxygen in situ for relieving hypoxia but also form a Schottky heterojunction with CeO2-xSx for further inhibiting electron-hole recombination. In addition, Pt/CeO2-xSx could effectively deplete overexpressed glutathione (GSH) via redox reactions, amplifying oxidative stress in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Combined with the excellent POD-mimetic activity, Pt/CeO2-xSx can achieve highly efficient synergistic therapy of SDT and chemodynamic therapy (CDT). All these findings demonstrated that Pt/CeO2-xSx has great potential for cancer therapy, and this work provides a promising direction for designing and constructing efficient sonosensitizers.
