Breast cancer therapy has always been a hard but urgent issue. Disruption of mitochondrial Ca homeostasis has been reported as an effective antitumor strategy, while how to contribute to mitochondrial Ca overload effectively is a critical issue. To solve this issue, we designed and engineered a dual enhanced Ca nanogenerator (DECaNG), which can induce elevation of intracellular Ca through the following three ways: Calcium phosphate (CaP)-doped hollow mesoporous copper sulfide was the basic Ca nanogenerator to generate Ca directly and persistently in the lysosomes (low pH). Near-infrared light radiation (NIR, such as 808 nm laser) can accelerate Ca generation from the basic Ca nanogenerator by disturbing the crystal lattice of hollow mesoporous copper sulfide via NIR-induced heat. Curcumin can facilitate Ca release from the endoplasmic reticulum to cytoplasm and inhibit expelling of Ca in cytoplasm through the cytoplasmic membrane. The in vitro study showed that DECaNG could produce a large amount of Ca directly and persistently to flow to mitochondria, leading to upregulation of Caspase-3, cytochrome c, and downregulation of Bcl-2 and ATP followed by cell apoptosis. In addition, DECaNG had an outstanding photothermal effect. Interestingly, it was found that DECaNG exerted a stronger photothermal effect at lower pH due to the super small nanoparticles effect, thus enhancing photothermal therapy. In the in vivo study, the nanoplatform had good tumor targeting and treatment efficacy via a combination of disruption of mitochondrial Ca homeostasis and photothermal therapy. The metabolism of CaNG was sped up through disintegration of CaNG into smaller nanoparticles, reducing the retention time of the nanoplatform in vivo. Therefore, DECaNG can be a promising drug delivery system for breast cancer therapy.
乳腺癌的治疗一直是一个艰巨而紧迫的问题。线粒体钙稳态的破坏已被报道为一种有效的抗肿瘤策略,而如何有效地促进线粒体钙超载是一个关键问题。为了解决这个问题,我们设计并构建了一种双增强钙纳米发电机(DECaNG),它可以通过以下三种方式诱导细胞内钙升高:磷酸钙(CaP)掺杂的中空介孔硫化铜作为基本的钙纳米发电机,在溶酶体(低 pH 值)中直接且持续地产生钙。近红外辐射(如 808nm 激光)可以通过近红外诱导的热干扰中空介孔硫化铜的晶格来加速基本钙纳米发电机的钙生成。姜黄素可以促进钙从内质网释放到细胞质,并通过细胞质膜抑制细胞质中钙的排出。体外研究表明,DECaNG 可以直接产生大量钙并持续流向线粒体,导致 Caspase-3、细胞色素 c 的上调和 Bcl-2、ATP 的下调,随后发生细胞凋亡。此外,DECaNG 具有出色的光热效应。有趣的是,由于超小纳米颗粒的效应,在较低 pH 值下发现 DECaNG 具有更强的光热效应,从而增强了光热治疗效果。在体内研究中,该纳米平台通过破坏线粒体钙稳态和光热治疗的结合,具有良好的肿瘤靶向和治疗效果。通过将 CaNG 分解成更小的纳米颗粒,加速了 CaNG 的代谢,减少了纳米平台在体内的滞留时间。因此,DECaNG 可以成为一种有前途的乳腺癌治疗药物递送系统。
