Abstract
Hypoxia, as a typical hallmark of the tumour microenvironment (TME), has been verified to exist in most malignancies and greatly hinders the outcome of tumour treatments, including chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy. Various approaches to alleviate tumour hypoxia have been reported. Among them, biomimetic nanomaterial-facilitated tumour oxygenation strategies, based on the engagement of human endogenous proteins, red blood cells, the cell membrane, and catalase, are the most impressive due to their excellent tumour active-targeting ability and superior tumour-selective capability, which, however, have not yet been systematically reviewed. Herein, we are ready to describe the current progress in biomimetic nanomaterial-facilitated tumour oxygenation strategies and corresponding improvements in tumour treatment outputs. In this review, the underlying mechanism behind the superior effect of these biomimetic nanomaterials, compared with other materials, on alleviating the hypoxic TME is highlighted. Additionally, the ongoing problems and potential solutions are also discussed.
Introduction
Tumour hypoxia, which is usually characterized mainly by insufficient oxygen supply and caused by the rapid proliferation of tumour cells and incomplete development of the vascular system, has been shown to exist in most solid tumors (Brahimi-Horn et al., 2007; Chu et al., 2017; Huo et al., 2020; Yang et al., 2022a). Moreover, tumour hypoxia, as a typical hallmark of the tumour microenvironment (TME), has been recently proven to be one of the main reasons for cancer treatment failure (Carlson et al., 2011; Bouleftour et al., 2021). The hypoxic TME seriously reduces the sensitivity of tumours to conventional chemotherapy, radiotherapy (RT), and photodynamic therapy (PDT) (Baggiani et al., 2011; Baumann et al., 2016; Ayob and Ramasamy, 2021; Bouleftour et al., 2021; Carvalho et al., 2021). Meanwhile, the hypoxic TME also induces an immunosuppressive TME through four aspects: 1) initiating macrophage polarization from M1-phenotype (anti-tumour) to M2-phenotype (pro-tumour) (Delprat et al., 2020; Lee et al., 2020; Wu et al., 2020); 2) upregulating the expression of immune checkpoint blockades, such as programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and programmed death 1 (PD-1) (Noman et al., 2014; Voron et al., 2015); 3) recruiting the immunosuppressive cells, (M2-phenotype macrophages, regulatory T cells, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells) (Huang et al., 2012; Lindau et al., 2013); and 4) preventing dendritic cells from maturing (Gabrilovich et al., 1996). The hypoxia-associated TME not only interferes with T lymphocyte activation and proliferation but also induces rapid tumour proliferation and metastasis. As such, reversing the hypoxic TME would be an effective strategy for enhancing tumour treatment outcomes.
Some approaches to alleviate tumour hypoxia, such as mitochondrial respiration inhibition, tumour vasculature, and oxygen (O2) delivery, have been extensively reported. While these strategies indeed have the ability to alleviate tumour hypoxia to some extent, they also lead to inescapable side effects on normal tissues due to their nontargeting and nonselectivity toward tumour cells (Zhou et al., 2018; Song et al., 2020; Tang et al., 2020; Liu et al., 2021a; Yang et al., 2022b). Some small molecules were also reported that could effectively carry or generate oxygen in vitro. However, their short blood half-life and poor tumor accessibility greatly limit the tumor oxygenation efficiency in vivo. Recently, biomimetic nanomaterial-facilitated tumour oxygenation strategies have been reported to be capable of making up for the shortcomings of the abovementioned tumour oxygenation strategies (Chen et al., 2019; Feng et al., 2019; Dong et al., 2020; Fang et al., 2021; Chen et al., 2022). For example, when hypoxia regulators (e.g., mitochondrial respiration inhibitors, tumour vasculature antagonists, and O2 carriers) are encased by human endogenous proteins, erythrocytes, red blood membranes, platelet membranes, cancer cell membranes, or exosomes, their tumour accessibility and blood half-life can be greatly improved (Gao et al., 2018; Gao et al., 2020; Gong et al., 2021; Gong et al., 2022). Furthermore, natural catalase (CAT) and nanozymes with CAT-like properties can also overcome the hypoxic TME through the in situ catalytic decomposition of tumour-overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and the in situ generation of O2 (Liang et al., 2017; Ai et al., 2018; Liang et al., 2018; Chang et al., 2019; Liu et al., 2019; Yu et al., 2019).
In this review, we summarize the present advances in biomimetic nanomaterial-empowered tumour oxygenation strategies. These biomimetic nanomaterials integrate multitudinous advantages, such as excellent biocompatibility, prolonged circulation time, immune evasion, and tumour-targeting and tumour-selecting efficacy, which explains the superior effect of these biomimetic nanomaterials on alleviating the hypoxic TME and improving tumour treatment outputs compared with other materials (Kuo et al., 2014; Jiang et al., 2019a; Li et al., 2020a; Li et al., 2021a). In the present review, not only are the merits highlighted, but the ongoing problems and the potential solutions are also discussed and concluded. We hope this review will help researchers better understand the field of tumour hypoxia, which will promote the development of cancer treatment.
Human endogenous protein-facilitated tumour oxygenation strategies
Human endogenous proteins, such as haemoglobin (Hb), albumin (HSA), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and bovine serum albumin (BSA), have long been employed to fabricate biomimetic nanomaterials through an eco-friendly biomimetic synthesis technology due to their wonderful biocompatibility, good flexibility, and green synthesis features (Zhang et al., 2012; Yang et al., 2016a; Yang et al., 2017; Zhang and Han, 2018). Recently, human endogenous protein-fabricated biomimetic nanomaterials have also been reported to alleviate tumour hypoxia and improve tumour treatment outcomes (Yang et al., 2016b; Zhao et al., 2017; Yang et al., 2018).
Haemoglobin -based biomimetic nanomaterials
Hb is a special protein that has an iron-containing haem group (Zhao et al., 2016). The iron state of Hb can be transformed from Fe2+ (ferrous) to Fe3+ (ferric) under high O2 pressure (oxidative environment), allowing for efficient O2 binding and transport (Zhu et al., 2019). However, under low O2 pressure (reductive environment), the iron state returns to Fe2+, which is responsible for the rapid O2-unleashing capacity. By virtue of their superior O2-carrying/release capability, Hb-based biomimetic nanomaterials have been applied to tumour oxygenation to boost antitumor therapy. Recently, Zhang’s group designed Hb-mediated biomimetic nanomaterials (Gd@HbCe6-PEG NPs) to overcome the hypoxic TME-limited efficacy of PDT (Figure 1A) (Shi et al., 2020). The paramagnetic O2-evolving Gd@HbCe6-PEG NPs were synthesized through an eco-friendly biomimetic synthesis technology based on Hb’s biological template role. The loading of Ce6 was mainly due to hydrophobic interactions, while the loading of Gd3+ metal ions occurred via the strong affinity of transition metals with the amino acid residues of Hb. PEGylation endowed biomimetic nanomaterials with better biocompatibility and stability. They next assessed the oxygen delivery capability of oxy-Gd@HbCe6-PEG by measuring oxygenated haemoglobin (HbO2) through PA imaging. HbO2, as a positive indicator of tumour oxygenation, displayed an increased signal intensity over time after the i.v. injection of oxy-Gd@HbCe6-PEG NPs (Figure 1B), suggesting that Gd@HbCe6-PEG is an applicable O2 nanocarrier. Diffusion-weighted (DW) imaging in vivo is a powerful technology for measuring the direction and extent of the localized diffusion of water molecules. As a functional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging modality, DW imaging can reflect visible changes in tumour size and morphology. According to Figure 1C, the lowest intensity on the DW imaging map of the lesion areas was shown in the oxy-Gd@HbCe6-PEG NP-rendered PDT group, indicating a noticeable treatment outcome.
FIGURE 1
HSA-based biomimetic nanomaterials
HSA is the protein in human plasma, accounting for approximately 60% of the total plasma protein. Recently, Wu’s group selected HSA as the drug carrier to construct PFTBA@HSA nanoparticles (PFTBA@HSA NPs) (Zhou et al., 2018). The constructed HSA-mediated biomimetic nanomaterials could overcome the platelet-maintained tumour blood barrier and improve oxygen-sensitive antitumor efficacy (Figure 2A). A clot retraction experiment was performed to analyse the effects of PFTBA@HSA NPs on platelet functions. A shrinking amount of released serum that matched the inhibited shrinkage of blood clots was observed after treatment with PFTBA@HSA NPs (Figures 2B,C), suggesting the blocking platelet function of PFTBA@HSA NPs. After effective platelet inhibition by PFTBA@HSA NPs, the tumour vessel barriers were successfully disrupted along with an enhanced tumour vessel permeability (Figure 2D) and a decreased degree of tumour hypoxia (Figure 2E). Eventually, the strong tumour oxygen perfusion assisted by PFTBA@HSA NP treatment amplified ROS production and cell death (Figure 2F).
FIGURE 2
Red blood cell-facilitated tumour oxygenation strategies
The principal function of red blood cells (RBCs) is delivering oxygen to all tissues in the body, including tumors (Beutler et al., 1977). Inspired by this, some RBC-based strategies to overcome hypoxia have been designed and release oxygen under hypoxic conditions (Tang et al., 2016).
As haemoglobin is bound to oxygen (oxyhemoglobin) and surrounded by the phospholipid bilayer of RBCs, bursting the RBS membranes can release oxygen to overcome hypoxia in the tumour. Due to its high spatial and temporal precision, laser light is a widely studied remote trigger in the drug release process. To achieve better controlled release outcomes, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved agent indocyanine green (ICG) was used. Based on this, an RBC-based biomimetic nanomaterial (UCNPs@RB@RGD@avidin crosslinked with RBC@ICG@biotin) was fabricated for near-infrared (NIR) II fluorescence bioimaging-guided tumour surgery and tumour oxygenation-boosted PDT (Figure 3A) (Wang et al., 2019). In this RBC-based biomimetic nanomaterial, UCNPs (lanthanide-doped NaGdF4:Yb,Er@NaGdF4 nanocrystals) were synthesized for translating 980 nm laser irradiation into 550 nm luminescence and demonstrated a core-shell nanostructure (Figures 3B,C). Additionally, the SEM and TEM results in Figures 3D,E show that lanthanide-doped NaGdF4:Yb,Er@NaGdF4 nanocrystals were successfully anchored onto the membranes of RBCs without any alteration of the RBC morphology. The in vivo results demonstrate that the RBCp structures could be completely destroyed, and O2 was released immediately and activated by 808 nm laser irradiation for 10 min (Figure 3F). Moreover, the RBCps could also be used in NIR II fluorescence bioimaging-guided liver tumour surgery, as NIR II fluorescence signals can be observed within the liver tumour for 4 h (Figure 3G). The results showed that the modified RBCs could absorb heat and swell, resulting in the burst release of ICG and O2, which could overcome hypoxia in tumours and amplify PDT output.
FIGURE 3
Antiangiogenic drugs (such as Endo) have been demonstrated to be able to alter the oxygenation status of a tumour, but most of them fail to acquire satisfactory clinical therapeutic effects, mainly due to their unstoppable degradation and unstable features in vivo (Ding et al., 2014; Li et al., 2018). To solve this problem, Xia et al. recently reported a RBC-based biomimetic nanomaterial (Endo@GOx-ER), in which GOx served as a glucose-activated switch for responding to glucose and releasing Endo (Figure 4A) (Huang et al., 2020). Under hyperglycaemia, the accumulation of H2O2 (the product of GOx-catalysed glucose oxidation) would promote pore formation on RBCms. In normoglycaemia, the Endo release would be suppressed as the pore closed, thus contributing to a pulsatile release manner and sustained high plasma levels (Figures 4B–E). According to the immunofluorescence analysis of tumour sections stained with CD31 and HIF-1α as well as the representative PA images and micro-PET scanning images, it was obvious that Endo@GOx-ER treatment resulted in vascular normalization and accomplished long-term tumour hypoxia relief (Figures 4F–I). When Endo@GOx-ER treatment was combined with RT, persistent tumour regression and higher survival were obtained (Figures 4J,K), suggesting that this RBC-based biomimetic nanomaterial has clinical potential in overcoming tumour hypoxia-limited RT.

Cell membrane-facilitated tumour oxygenation strategies
To achieve controlled drug release and overcome tumour hypoxia, bionic functional membranes derived from RBC membranes, platelet membranes, tumour cell membranes, etc., are valid choices (Zhang et al., 2018; Zhang et al., 2019a; Feng et al., 2019; Li et al., 2020a; Lyu et al., 2021).
Red blood cell membrane-based biomimetic nanomaterials
The possibility of using RBC membranes, termed RBCms, as drug carriers has become popular (Meng et al., 2021). Considering the potential clinical usefulness, RBCms are readily available, cost-effective, and allow scaled up preparation. Their long half-life (approximately 28 days) and low immunogenicity in circulation make them particularly well-suited to serve as a popular coating for chemotherapy drugs (Li et al., 2020a).
As we know RBCs coursing through veins primarily transport oxygen throughout the body, including the tumour. This has inspired the utilization of RBCms as oxygen carriers to overcome both diffusion-limited and perfusion-limited hypoxia (Figure 5) (Jiang et al., 2019b). In detail, a functional iRGD peptide was modified on the RBCms to enhance extravascular and hypoxic region penetration. The graphdiyne oxide (GDYO) nanosheets were loaded into iRGD-RBCm and denoted GDYO@i-RBM (Figure 5A). GDYO@i-RBM showed prolonged blood circulation and enlarged extravascular and hypoxic region penetration because of the functional iRGD peptide. When exposed to irradiation with a 660 nm laser, GDYO nanosheets can evolve sufficient O2 to relieve perfusion-limited hypoxia; at the same time, the hyperthermia effect of GDYO overcomes perfusion-limited hypoxia because of the dilation of vessels and blood perfusion (Figure 5B). After i.v. injection, GDYO@i-RBM synchronously alleviated diffusion- and perfusion-limited hypoxia (Figure 5C) and further enhanced PDT, resulting from the changes in tumour volume and weight and pathological changes (Figures 5E–G). This work sheds new light on RBCm-based biomimetic nanomaterials for overcoming hypoxia.
FIGURE 5
Platelet membrane-based biomimetic nanomaterials
In addition to RBC membranes, platelet membranes have also been utilized to design biomimetic nanomaterials (Hu et al., 2015a; Hu et al., 2015b). These biomimetic nanomaterials retained the surface glycoproteins of platelets as well as the tumour active targeting function (Sarkar et al., 2013; Zhang et al., 2020). In addition, these biomimetic nanomaterials could be activated by tumour cells, leading to size tuning, deep tumour penetration, and better antitumor output (Zuo et al., 2018). In a recent study, Bao and his coworkers fabricated a platelet membrane-based biomimetic nanomaterial by coating core-shell Au@AuPd nanospheres with a platelet membrane (PLT/CANS) for enhanced interstitial brachytherapy (BT) (Figure 6A) (Lyu et al., 2021). TEM and element mapping results showed that the as-prepared CANS had a core-shell spherical structure (Figures 6B–D). Compared to RBC membrane-coated nanoplatforms, PLT-derived membranes not only can effectively evade blood clearance but also have a special tumour targeting ability. From the immunofluorescence analysis of tumour sections stained with TUNEL and HIF-1α, one can see that PLT/CANS treatment could conquer tumour hypoxia (Figure 6E). After the combinational treatment of PLT/CANS and BT, the tumour-bearing mice showed longer survival, stable bodyweight growth, and lower tumour mass (Figures 6F–H). Histological analysis further showed that the combinational treatment of PLT/CANS and BT most effectively induced cellular apoptosis (Figure 6I). Overall, this work showed that platelet membrane-based biomimetic nanomaterials could be a robust and efficient strategy for tumour treatment.
FIGURE 6
Cancer cell membrane-based biomimetic nanomaterials
As the study develops in depth, it has been found that the tumour cell membrane has a selective targeting homing ability due to the self-recognition to oncogenic cell lines. As a cancer cell membrane with a negative charge, the positive nanoparticles are easily bound to the tumour cell membrane, resulting in preferential uptake in tumors (Zhang et al., 2019b; Fang et al., 2021). Zhao et al. developed a biomimetic nanoplatform based on homologous tumour cell membranes with homologous targeting and low phototoxicity (Figure 7A) (An et al., 2020). Cancer cell membrane-based biomimetic nanomaterials (GCZ@M) were formed by the encapsulation of GSNO/Ce6@ZIF-8 by the cancer cell membrane. The in vivo results revealed that GCZ@M could accumulate in tumours with the help of the homologous tumour cell membrane. The encapsulated drug that accumulates in tumours could be sustainably released, triggered by pH and ultrasound. Then, the therapeutic effect of sonodynamic therapy could be improved by the effect of overcoming hypoxia in tumours through the use of ultrasound and the therapeutic properties of GCZ (Figure 7B). As tumours have a dense stroma, GCZ@M showed a uniform size and good dispersion, while the cancer cell membrane was a thin film, which did not reduce the inherent size advantage of the nanoparticles (Figures 7C,D). Immunofluorescence analysis of tumour sections after GCZ@M treatment revealed that the NO and ROS produced by US could relieve tumour hypoxia, while the photographs of tumour-bearing mice after GCZ@M treatment exhibited an excellent therapeutic outcome (Figures 7E,F).
FIGURE 7
Catalase-facilitated tumour oxygenation strategies
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is overexpressed in the TME (Han et al., 2019; Li et al., 2020b). The overexpressed H2O2 can be catalysed into O2 by the natural catalase (CAT) or CAT-like nanozymes (Wang et al., 2020). The in situ generated O2 in tumour sites can be taken advantage of to overcome hypoxia-confined poor tumour treatment outcomes.
Catalase -based biomimetic nanomaterials
As a natural antioxidant enzyme, CAT suffers from limited retention in tumour sites, leading to the limited generation of O2 in deep hypoxic areas (Ansar et al., 2020; Li et al., 2020c). To address this problem, a series of CAT-based biomimetic nanomaterials was developed (Yen et al., 2019). Meng et al reported Ce6-CAT/RPNPs/PEGDA biomimetic nanomaterials (Meng et al., 2019). As a light-induced in situ hybrid hydrogel system, Ce6-CAT/RPNPs/PEGDA realized sustained tumour hypoxia modulation to facilitate both PDT and immunotherapy (Figure 8A). Immunofluorescence staining with pimonidazole as the hypoxyprobe was conducted to track the tumour hypoxia states. While the decomposition of H2O2 by CAT could generate O2 in the TME, the poor retention ability of Ce6-CAT alleviated the tumour hypoxia status at the initial state, but it was recovered within 48 h after PDT treatment. In contrast, after light irradiation, the Ce6-CAT/PEGDA group showed a striking reduction in the degree of hypoxia over a period of 96 h, indicating that the retention of CAT could realize persistent tumour hypoxia relief (Figure 8B). With the sustained modulation of the hypoxic TME as well as the additional engagement of α-CTLA4 checkpoint blockade, the survival time was significantly prolonged (Figure 8C). Additionally, after combinational treatment with Ce6-CAT/RPNPs/PEGDA and α-CTLA4 checkpoint blockade, the antitumor immunotherapeutic responses were also strengthened (Figures 8D–F), as reflected by the increased populations of CD8+ CTLs (cytotoxic T lymphocytes) and the decreased populations of Treg cells (a kind of immunosuppressive cell). TNF-α and IFN-γ, two major indicators related to antitumor immune responses, were also detected in sera after different treatments. The TNF-α and IFN-γ concentrations were both significantly increased in the RPNPs/Ce6-CAT/PEGDA group, which is useful for effectively preventing tumour recurrence (Figures 8G,H).
FIGURE 8
Catalase -like nanozyme-based biomimetic nanomaterials
CAT-like nanozymes are nanomaterials that possess CAT-like catalytic activity and enable the decomposition of H2O2 into O2 (Gordijo et al., 2015; Lin et al., 2018). Recently, Qin and coworkers tailor made hollow Ru@CeO2 (a type of CAT-like nanozyme)-based biomimetic nanomaterial (Ru@CeO2-RBT/Res-DPEG) to alleviate tumour hypoxia and inhibit tumour metastasis and recurrence (Zhu et al., 2020). TEM images showed that the as-obtained Ru@CeO2 has a uniform spherical core-shell structure with an average size of ∼70 nm (Figure 9A). Meanwhile, the high-resolution TEM images showed that the lattice fringes with a spacing of 0.314 nm perfectly matched the (111) plane of CeO2, indicating that the 3-6 nm interpenetrating CeO2 nanocrystals composed the mesoporous shell of Ru@CeO2 (Figure 9B). In addition, SEM images showed that Ru@CeO2 had a roughly spherical morphology (Figure 9C), and STEM-EDX elemental mapping confirmed that Ru (red) was the core component of Ru@CeO2, while Ce (purple) and O (yellow) were the shell components of Ru@CeO2 (Figure 9D). Subsequently, Ru@CeO2 was coated with RBT/Res-DPEG to improve the biocompatibility, reduce protein adsorption, and prolong the blood circulation time. Since Ru@CeO2-RBT/Res-DPEG has the ability to effectively deplete H2O2 in the TME to generate O2 and alleviate tumour hypoxia, Ru@CeO2-RBT/Res-DPEG exerted a dramatic antitumor effect, as verified by more than half area of cell apoptosis (Figure 9E), serious cell necrosis and inhibited cell proliferative activity (Figure 9F).

Conclusion and outlook
Herein, we have summarized the latest progress in biomimetic nanomaterial-driven tumour oxygenation strategies. We depicted in detail the multiple merits of these biomimetic nanomaterials, including immune evasion, prolongation of the circulation time, enhanced biocompatibility, and wonderful tumour-targeting and tumour-selecting efficacy. In light of these multiple merits, the biomimetic nanomaterials exerted superior effects on alleviating the hypoxic TME and improving tumour treatment outputs relative to other materials (Li et al., 2021b; Gowda et al., 2022; Li et al., 2022).
Although the current biomimetic nanomaterial-driven tumour oxygenation strategies have remarkably surmounted hypoxia-associated resistance in tumour treatment, there are still some ongoing challenges that should be solved before these strategies can be applied to clinical cancer treatment.
(1) In human endogenous protein-facilitated tumour oxygenation strategies, the protein structure may be altered due to covalent or noncovalent modifications and the application of organic solvents. Additionally, the release of the delivery systems from the human endogenous protein is also a challenge (Yang et al., 2020).
(2) In red blood cell-facilitated tumour oxygenation strategies, the limited proliferative ability of red blood cells extremely confines the mass production of red blood cell-based biomimetic nanomaterials and thus cannot meet clinical needs (Tang et al., 2016).
(3) In cell membrane-facilitated tumour oxygenation strategies, the cell membrane has difficulty completely covering the surface of nanomaterials and is easily detached from the surface of nanomaterials due to the lack of covalent bond constraints, thus limiting clinical applications (Liu et al., 2021b).
(4) In catalase-facilitated tumour oxygenation strategies, the intratumourally endogenous H2O2 amount is limited, which greatly restricts the ability of biomimetic nanomaterials to generate sufficient in situ O2 (Song et al., 2018).
We envision that the ongoing challenges will be solved in the future and that biomimetic nanomaterial-empowered tumour oxygenation strategies will promote the development of cancer treatment in the clinic.
