Abstract Cuproptosis and ferroptosis hold great promise for overcoming apoptotic resistance in liver cancer based on their unique metal‐driven cell death modalities. However, insufficient intracellular copper iron concentration, complicated tumor microenvironment (TME), unclear cross‐regulatory mechanisms between cuproptosis ferroptosis, severely restrict the therapeutic performance. Herein, copper‐doped hollow Prussian blue (CHP) nanozymes are rationally designed loading photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) O 2 ‐saturated perfluorohexane (PFH), denoted as ‐PFH@CHPI nanoparticles, to induce ferroptosis. In response specific TME, CHP can synergistically catalyze Fenton reactions consume endogenous glutathione, leading accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Upon near‐infrared irradiation, ‐PFH@CHPI‐enabled photothermal effect simultaneously accelerate catalytic trigger release photodynamic therapy promote oxidative stress.

Abstract Single‐atom nanozymes (SAzymes) hold great promise in tumor therapy due to their maximized atomic utilization and well‐defined electronic structures. However, they still face challenges of activity, specificity, targeting that impede therapeutic efficacy. Herein, a practical strategy is reported construct asymmetric N, S‐coordinated Fe SAzymes (Fe‐S/N‐C). Benefiting from the regulatory influence S atoms on disruption local charge symmetry center atoms, Fe‐S/N‐C exhibit significantly enhanced peroxidase (POD)‐ glutathione oxidase (GSHOx)‐like activities, with catalytic efficiencies being 6.33 47.88 times higher than symmetric Fe‐N 4 counterparts, respectively. Theoretical calculations demonstrate interface configuration increases electron localization around sites, thus facilitating adsorption activation H 2 O . By camouflaging macrophage membranes, tumor‐targeting nanocatalytic agents (M@Fe‐S/N‐C) trigger self‐cascade catalysis microenvironment for ferroptosis‐based tumor‐specific therapy. These results open up promising avenue addressing limitations associated current SAzymes‐based therapies.

Abstract Imatinib (IM) has significantly improved the prognosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) patients, but some patients still have primary resistance to IM, and approximately half develop acquired drug within 2 years treatment, necessitating exploration new treatment strategies. Targeting ferroptosis as a novel approach gained attention. Yet, there is limited research on in GIST, underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we revealed that IM increased lipid reactive oxygen species intracellular Fe 2+ levels, decreased glutathione levels GIST. This effect could be partially inhibited by Ferrostatin-1. Additionally, knocking down STUB1 overexpressing GPX4 reversed IM-induced effect. Moreover, was identified E3 ubiquitin ligase GPX4, promoting ubiquitination at site K191 GPX4. The combination inhibitor RSL3 synergistically induces ferroptosis, inhibiting GIST proliferation both vivo vitro. Furthermore, expression serve independent prognostic factors for conclusion, study first demonstrate STUB1-mediated emerges promising therapeutic strategy

Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death accompanied by lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in an iron-dependent manner. However, the efficiency tumorous ferroptosis was seriously restricted intracellular defense systems, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) system, and ubiquinol (CoQH2) system. Inspired crucial role mitochondria process, we reported prodrug nanoassembly capable unleashing potent mitochondrial peroxidation ferroptotic death. Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) inhibitor (QA) combined with triphenylphosphonium moiety through disulfide-containing linker to engineer well-defined nanoassemblies (QSSP) within single-molecular framework. After being trapped cancer cells, acidic condition provoked structural disassembly QSSP liberate free molecules. The membrane-potential-driven lipophilic cation delivered explicitly into mitochondria. Afterward, thiol–disulfide exchange would occur downregulation reduced levels, thus resulting mitochondria-localized GPX4 inactivation for ferroptosis. Simultaneously, released QA from hydrolysis reaction adjacent ester bond could further devastate evoke robust via DHODH-CoQH2 This subcellular targeted provides reference designing ferroptosis-based strategy efficient therapy interfering antiferroptosis systems.
