ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Фев. 13, 2025

Single-atom nanozymes are highly effective in the preparation of tumor vaccines (TV) due to their superior peroxidase (POD) activity and excellent biocompatibility. However, immunosuppressive environment within tumors can diminish efficacy these vaccines. Cold exposure (CE) therapy, a noninvasive straightforward antitumor method, not only suppresses metabolism but also ameliorates milieu. In this study, we developed personalized TV using copper single-atom nanozyme (Cu SAZ) enhanced long-term by introducing CE. We initially synthesized Cu SAZ via high-temperature carbonization, which demonstrated robust POD photothermal characteristics. Upon 808 nm laser irradiation, generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) heat, inducing immunogenic cell death 4T1 breast cancer cells or CT26 colon facilitating production. our vivo prevention treatment model, noted that CE significantly boosted TV. The primary mechanism involves CE's ability lower ratio myeloid-derived suppressor (MDSCs), decrease glucose cells, increase proportions CD8+ T memory cells. Collectively, findings offer promising avenues for designing innovative systems.

Multifunctional glycyrrhizic acid-loaded nanoplatform combining ferroptosis induction and HMGB1 blockade for enhanced tumor immunotherapy

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 23(1)

Опубликована: Март 19, 2025

Inducing ferroptotic cell death has been recognized as a promising approach in cancer therapy. However, ferroptosis can provoke tumor infiltration by myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) through HMGB1 secretion, causing suppressive immune response. On the other hand, also occurs due to its non-selective properties, which compromise anti-tumor immunity. To address these challenges, two-pronged is proposed, encompassing selectively triggered and blockade, aimed at eliciting systemic immunity alleviating immunosuppression. Herein, GSH-specific driven nanoplatform composed of uniform FeOOH nanospindles coated with tetrasulfide bond-bridged mesoporous organosilica (DMOS) shell, loaded inhibitor, glycyrrhizic acid (GA). This endowed high glutathione (GSH) depletion efficiency exhibits highly efficient Fe2+ ROS generation capacity, promotes accumulation LPO subsequently induces ferroptosis. Concurrently, inhibition release counteracts immunosuppressive effects within microenvironment. innovative effectively suppresses growth 4T1 tumors notably enhancing therapeutic outcomes checkpoint blockade across experimental data. The collective findings indicate potential reliable strategy for boosting ferroptosis-mediated favorable safety profiles.
