Ferroptosis is a type of nonapoptotic cell death and is gradually emerging as an important anticancer treatment. However, its therapeutic efficacy is impaired by low intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, significantly limiting its therapeutic potential. Herein, a multimodal strategy to improve ferroptosis is presented, in which a state-of-art engineered erythrocyte, termed as sonodynamic amplified ferroptosis erythrocyte (SAFE), is developed for simultaneously activating ferroptosis and oxygen-riched sonodynamic therapy (SDT). SAFE is composed of internalizing RGD peptide and red blood cell membrane hybrid camouflaged nanocomplex of hemoglobin, perfluorocarbon, ferroptosis activator (dihomo-γ-linolenic acid, DGLA), and sonosensitizer verteporfin. It is identified that SAFE, under ultrasound stimulation, can not only substantially supply oxygen to overcome tumor hypoxia associated therapeutic resistance, but effectively activate ferroptosis through the coeffect of SDT triggered ROS production and DGLA mediated lipid peroxidation. In vivo studies reveal that SAFE selectively accumulates in tumor tissues and induces desirable anticancer effects under mild ultrasound stimulation. Importantly, SAFE can effectively inhibit tumor growth with minimal invasiveness, resulting in a prolonged survival period of mice. Therefore, a multimodal ferroptosis therapy driven by oxygen-riched sonodynamic peroxidation of lipids, significantly advancing synergistic cancer treatment, is presented.
铁死亡是一种非凋亡性细胞死亡方式,正逐渐成为一种重要的抗癌治疗方法。然而,由于细胞内活性氧(ROS)和长链多不饱和脂肪酸水平低,其治疗效果受到限制,显著限制了其治疗潜力。在此,提出了一种改善铁死亡的多模态策略,即通过内吞 RGD 肽和红细胞膜混合伪装纳米复合物的血红蛋白、全氟化碳、铁死亡激活剂(二同型-γ-亚麻酸,DGLA)和声敏剂维替泊芬构建一种先进的工程化红细胞,称为声动力放大铁死亡红细胞(SAFE),用于同时激活铁死亡和富氧声动力学治疗(SDT)。研究表明,SAFE 在超声刺激下不仅可以大量供氧来克服与肿瘤缺氧相关的治疗抵抗,还可以通过 SDT 触发的 ROS 产生和 DGLA 介导的脂质过氧化的协同作用有效激活铁死亡。体内研究表明,SAFE 选择性地积聚在肿瘤组织中,并在温和的超声刺激下诱导理想的抗癌效果。重要的是,SAFE 可以在微创的情况下有效抑制肿瘤生长,从而延长小鼠的生存期。因此,提出了一种由富氧声动力学脂质过氧化驱动的多模态铁死亡治疗方法,显著推进了协同癌症治疗。
