PURPOSE: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a group of signaling biomolecules that play important roles in the cell cycle. When intracellular ROS homeostasis is disrupted, it can induce cellular necrosis and apoptosis. It is desirable to effectively cascade-amplifying ROS generation and weaken antioxidant defense for disrupting ROS homeostasis in tumor microenvironment (TME), which has been recognized as a novel and ideal antitumor strategy. Multifunctional nanozymes are highly promising agents for ROS-mediated therapy. METHODS: This study constructed a novel theranostic nanoagent based on PEG@CuS@Ce6 nanozymes (PCCNs) through a facile one-step hydrothermal method. We systematically investigated the photodynamic therapy (PDT)/photothermal therapy (PTT) properties, catalytic therapy (CTT) and glutathione (GSH) depletion activities of PCCNs, antitumor efficacy induced by PCCNs in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS: PCCNs generate singlet oxygen (O) with laser (660 nm) irradiation and use catalytic reactions to produce hydroxyl radical (•OH). Moreover, PCCNs show the high photothermal performance under NIR II 1064-nm laser irradiation, which can enhance CTT/PDT efficiencies to increase ROS generation. The properties of O evolution and GSH consumption of PCCNs achieve hypoxia-relieved PDT and destroy cellular antioxidant defense system respectively. The excellent antitumor efficacy in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice of PCCNs is achieved through disrupting ROS homeostasis-involved therapy under the guidance of photothermal/photoacoustic imaging. CONCLUSION: Our study provides a proof of concept of "all-in-one" nanozymes to eliminate tumors via disrupting ROS homeostasis.
目的:活性氧(ROS)是一组信号生物分子,在细胞周期中发挥重要作用。当细胞内 ROS 动态平衡被破坏时,会诱导细胞坏死和凋亡。有效级联放大 ROS 的产生并削弱抗氧化防御,以破坏肿瘤微环境(TME)中的 ROS 动态平衡,这已被认为是一种新的理想的抗肿瘤策略。多功能纳米酶是用于 ROS 介导的治疗的有前途的试剂。
方法:本研究通过简便的一步水热法构建了基于聚乙二醇@CuS@Ce6 纳米酶(PCCNs)的新型治疗性纳米制剂。我们系统地研究了 PCCNs 的光动力疗法(PDT)/光热疗法(PTT)特性、催化治疗(CTT)和谷胱甘肽(GSH)耗竭活性、PCCNs 在体外和体内的抗肿瘤功效。
结果:PCCNs 在激光(660nm)照射下产生单线态氧(O),并利用催化反应产生羟基自由基(•OH)。此外,PCCNs 在 NIR II 1064nm 激光照射下表现出高光热性能,可增强 CTT/PDT 效率,增加 ROS 产生。PCCNs 的 O 演化和 GSH 消耗特性分别实现了缺氧缓解 PDT 和破坏细胞抗氧化防御系统。在光热/光声成像指导下,通过破坏 ROS 动态平衡相关治疗,PCCNs 在 4T1 荷瘤小鼠中实现了优异的抗肿瘤功效。
结论:本研究为通过破坏 ROS 动态平衡消除肿瘤的“一体化”纳米酶提供了概念验证。
