Abstract

We report copper(II) arsenite (CuAS)-integrated polymer micelles (CuAS-PMs) as a new class of Fenton-like catalytic nanosystem that can display reactive oxygen species (ROS)-manipulating anticancer therapeutic activity. CuAS-PMs were fabricated through metal-catechol chelation-based formation of the CuAS complex on the core domain of poly (ethylene glycol)-b-poly(3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine) (PEG-PDOPA) copolymer micelles. CuAS-PMs maintained structural robustness under serum conditions. The insoluble state of the CuAS complex was effectively retained at physiological pH, whereas, at endosomal pH, the CuAS complex was ionized to release arsenite and cuprous Fenton catalysts (Cu ions). Upon endocytosis, CuAS-PMs simultaneously released hydrogen peroxide (HO)-generating arsenite and Fenton-like reaction-catalyzing Cu ions in cancer cells, which synergistically elevated the level of highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH), thereby preferentially killing cancer cells. Animal experiments demonstrated that CuAS-PMs could effectively suppress the growth of solid tumors without systemic in vivo toxicity. The design rationale of CuAS-PMs may provide a promising strategy to develop diverse oxidative stress-amplifying agents with great potential in cancer-specific therapy.

摘要

我们报告了砷酸亚铜(CuAS)整合聚合物胶束(CuAS-PMs)作为一种新型类 Fenton 催化纳米系统,能够显示具有活性氧物种(ROS)调控的抗癌治疗活性。CuAS-PMs 通过基于金属儿茶酚螯合的方式在聚乙二醇-b-聚(3,4-二羟基-L-苯丙氨酸)(PEG-PDOPA)共聚物胶束的核心域上形成 CuAS 配合物来制备。CuAS-PMs 在血清条件下保持结构坚固。在生理 pH 下,CuAS 配合物的不溶性状态得到有效保留,而在内涵体 pH 下,CuAS 配合物被离子化以释放亚砷酸盐和铜 Fenton 催化剂(Cu 离子)。在细胞内吞作用下,CuAS-PMs 同时在癌细胞中释放产生过氧化氢(HO)的亚砷酸盐和类 Fenton 反应催化的 Cu 离子,协同提高高细胞毒性羟基自由基(•OH)的水平,从而优先杀死癌细胞。动物实验表明,CuAS-PMs 可以有效地抑制实体瘤的生长,而没有全身体内毒性。CuAS-PMs 的设计原理可能为开发具有癌症特异性治疗巨大潜力的多种氧化应激放大剂提供了有前景的策略。
