ACS Nano, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 15(3), С. 5735 - 5751

Опубликована: Март 11, 2021

As next-generation artificial enzymes, nanozymes have shown great promise for tumor catalytic therapy. In particular, their peroxidase-like activity has been employed to catalyze hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) produce highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) kill cells. However, limited by the low affinity between with H2O2 and level of in microenvironment, peroxidase usually produced insufficient •OH cells therapeutic purposes. Herein, we present a pyrite nanozyme ultrahigh affinity, resulting 4144- 3086-fold increase compared that classical Fe3O4 natural horseradish peroxidase, respectively. We found also possesses intrinsic glutathione oxidase-like activity, which catalyzes oxidation reduced accompanied generation. Thus, dual-activity constitutes self-cascade platform generate abundant deplete glutathione, induces apoptosis as well ferroptosis Consequently, it killed apoptosis-resistant harboring KRAS mutation inducing ferroptosis. The exhibited favorable tumor-specific cytotoxicity biodegradability ensure its biosafety. These results indicate high-performance is an effective reagent may aid development nanozyme-based

Abstract Despite the promise of sonodynamic processes in cancer therapy, existing sonosensitizers often fail to regulate generation reactive oxygen species (ROS) against tumors, potentially leading off‐target toxicity normal tissues. We report a transformable core‐shell nanosonosensitizer (TiO 2 @CaP) that reinvigorates ROS and dissolves its CaP shell release Ca 2+ an acidic tumor microenvironment (TME) under ultrasound activation. Thus, TiO @CaP acts as smart specifically induces mitochondrial dysfunction via overloading intracellular ions synergize with process TME. substantially enhances immunogenic cell death, resulting enhanced T‐cell recruitment infiltration into cold (4T1). In conjunction checkpoint blockade therapy (anti‐PD 1), @CaP‐mediated elicits systemic antitumor immunity, regression non‐treated distant tumors inhibition lung metastasis. This work paves way development “smart” TME‐activatable temporospatial control over responses.

Ferroptosis is a recently discovered route of regulated cell death that offers the opportunities for treatment chemotherapy-resistant tumor indications, but its efficacy can be affected by glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1) antioxidant mechanisms, posing significant challenges clinical translation. In this study, we report Cu-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin chloride(Fe(III)) (Cu-TCPP(Fe)) metal organic framework (MOF)-based nanosystem efficient incorporation Au nanoparticles (NPs) RSL3, which demonstrate enzyme-like activities to universally suppress antiferroptotic pathways in cells amplifying ferroptotic damage. Herein, Cu-TCPP(Fe) MOF nanosheets were integrated with NPs via situ nucleation loaded RSL3 π–π stacking, eventually modified polyethylene glycol (PEG) iRGD tumor-targeted drug delivery. Specifically, glucose oxidase-like depletion, thus disrupting pentose phosphate pathway impede reduced (GSH) biosynthesis prevent recycling coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) CoQ10H2, while Cu species oxidize GSH into oxidized (GSSG). These nanocatalytic lead simultaneous inhibition GPX4/GSH FSP1/CoQ10H2 cooperate GPX4-deactivating function cause pronounced damage, thereby providing strong rationale application therapy clinic.
