Polymeric nanoreactors (NRs) have distinct advantages to improve chemical reaction efficiency, but the in vivo applications are limited by lack of tissue-specificity. Herein, novel glucose oxidase (GOD)-loaded therapeutic vesicular NRs (theraNR) are constructed based on a diblock copolymer containing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and copolymerized phenylboronic ester or piperidine-functionalized methacrylate (P(PBEM-co-PEM)). Upon systemic injection, theraNR are inactive in normal tissues. At a tumor site, theraNR are specifically activated by the tumor acidity via improved permeability of the membranes. Hydrogen peroxide (H O ) production by the catalysis of GOD in theraNR increases tumor oxidative stress significantly. Meanwhile, high levels of H O induce self-destruction of theraNR releasing quinone methide (QM) to deplete glutathione and suppress the antioxidant ability of cancer cells. Finally, theraNR efficiently kill cancer cells and ablate tumors via the synergistic effect.
聚合物纳米反应器(NRs)具有提高化学反应效率的独特优势,但由于缺乏组织特异性,其在体内的应用受到限制。本文构建了基于含有聚乙二醇(PEG)和共聚苯硼酸酯或哌啶功能化甲基丙烯酸酯(P(PBEM-co-PEM)的嵌段共聚物的新型葡萄糖氧化酶(GOD)负载治疗性囊泡 NR(theraNR)。系统注射后,theraNR 在正常组织中无活性。在肿瘤部位,theraNR 通过膜通透性的提高被肿瘤酸度特异性激活。GOD 在 theraNR 中的催化产生的过氧化氢(H2O2)显著增加肿瘤氧化应激。同时,H2O2 水平的升高诱导 theraNR 自毁,释放醌甲醚(QM)以耗尽谷胱甘肽并抑制癌细胞的抗氧化能力。最后,theraNR 通过协同作用有效杀伤癌细胞并消融肿瘤。
