Cancer poses a significant challenge to global public health, seriously threatening human health and life. Although various therapeutic strategies, such as chemotherapy (CT), radiotherapy, phototherapy, starvation therapy, are applied cancer treatment, their limited effect, severe side effects, unsatisfactory drug release behavior need be carefully considered. Thus, there is an urgent develop efficient delivery strategies for improving treatment efficacy realizing on-demand delivery. Notably, pillararenes, emerging class of supramolecular macrocycles, possess unique properties highly tunable structures, superior host-guest chemistry, facile modification, good biocompatibility, which widely used in therapy achieve controllable reduce the toxic effects on normal tissues under internal/external stimuli conditions. This review summarizes recent advance stimuli-responsive systems (SDSs) based pillararenes tumor from perspectives different assembly methods hybrid materials, including molecular-scale SDSs, nano self-assembly systems, nanohybrid SDSs.

Cuproptosis, a copper-dependent cell death process, has been confirmed to further activate the immune response and mediate resistance. However, hypoxic tumor microenvironment hampers cuproptosis sensitivity suppresses body's antitumor response. Herein, we have successfully immobilized functionalized catalase (CAT) with long single-stranded DNA containing polyvalent CpG sequences through rolling circle amplification (RCA) techniques, obtaining an enzyme-cored spherical nucleic acid nanoplatform (CAT-ecSNA-Cu) deliver copper ions for cuproptosis. The presence of long-stranded DNA-protected CAT enhances mitochondrial respiration by catalyzing conversion H2O2 O2, thereby sensitizing Meanwhile, increased oxygenation expression hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) protein, resulting in alleviation immunosuppressive microenvironment. Of note, induces immunogenic (ICD), which facilitates dendritic (DC) maturation antigen presentation polyCpG-supported Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) activation. Furthermore, cuproptosis-induced PD-L1 upregulation cells complements checkpoint blockers (αPD-L1), enhancing immunity. strategy cuproptosis-mediated responses alleviating hypoxia effectively promotes activation proliferation effector T cells, ultimately leading long-term immunity against cancer.

Опубликована: Дек. 18, 2023

Real-time monitoring of hydroxyl radical (⋅OH) generation is crucial for both the efficacy and safety chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Although ⋅OH probe-integrated CDT agents can track production by themselves, they often require complicated synthetic procedures suffer from self-consumption ⋅OH. Here, we report facile fabrication a self-monitored agent (denoted as Fc-CD-AuNCs) incorporating ferrocene (Fc) into β-cyclodextrin (CD)-functionalized gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) via host-guest molecular recognition. The water-soluble CD served not only capping to protect AuNCs but also macrocyclic host encapsulate solubilize hydrophobic Fc guest with high Fenton reactivity in vivo applications. Importantly, encapsulated inside possessed strong electron-donating ability effectively quench second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence through photoinduced electron transfer. After internalization Fc-CD-AuNCs cancer cells, reaction between redox-active quencher endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H

Though platinum (Pt)-based complexes have been recently exploited as immunogenic cell death (ICD) inducers for activating immunotherapy, the effective activation of sufficient immune responses with minimal side effects in deep-seated tumors remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we propose first example near-infrared (NIR) light-activated and lysosomal targeted Pt(II) metallacycle (1) supramolecular ICD inducer. 1 synergistically potentiates immunomodulatory response via multiple-regulated approaches, involving NIR light excitation, boosted reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, good selectivity between normal tumor cells, enhanced penetration/retention capabilities. Specifically, has excellent depth-activated ROS production (~7 mm), accompanied by strong anti-diffusion anti-ROS quenching ability. In vitro experiments demonstrate that exhibits significant cellular uptake generation cells well respective multicellular spheroids. Based on these advantages, induces more efficient an ultralow dose (i.e., 5 μM) compared clinical inducer-oxaliplatin (300 μM). vivo, vaccination further serves potent inducer through eliciting CD8

Despite targeted therapies like epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a clinical challenge due to drug resistance hampering their efficacy. Here, we designed an “AND” logic gate–based supramolecular therapeutic platform (HA-BPY-GEF-NPs) for the treatment of EGFR-TKI resistant NSCLC. This system integrates both internal and external stimuli–responsive mechanisms that need be activated in preset sequence, enabling it precisely control release behavior enhancing precision. By programming respond sequential near-infrared (NIR) irradiation enzyme (cathepsin B) inputs, gefitinib is effectively confined tumor region. Moreover, NIR induces reactive oxygen species production, suppressing inhibiting bypass signaling pathways. The delivery offers highly controlled approach, growth, pathways, overcoming resistance, thus offering potential solution maximizing benefits.
