Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a kind of novel cancer treatment with minimal side effects. As the therapeutic efficacy of a single CDT is usually not satisfactory, combining other therapeutic modalities with CDT is commonly used to improve the therapeutic efficacy. However, such kinds of combination therapeutic systems may suffer from the issue of side effects. Herein, we report a pH-triggered chemodynamic/chemo combination therapeutic nanomedicine based on CeO-MnO nanorods (CMNRs). Such a nanomedicine (DOX@PCMNR-RGD) is prepared by coating RGD-conjugated charge-reversal polymers onto the surface of CeO-MnO nanoparticles, followed by loading doxorubicin (DOX) onto it. Under mild acidic conditions, the surface charge of nanomedicine may change from negative to positive because of the charge-reversal polymer, making it easy to be internalized into cells. In addition, the tumor overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (HO) can be selectively catalyzed into highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) under acidic conditions by DOX@PCMNR-RGD, showing CDT activity. Meanwhile, the acidic condition can trigger the release of DOX, showing chemotherapeutic activity. Thus, our study provides a pH-triggered chemodynamic/chemo combination therapeutic nanoplatform with minimal side effects.
化学动力学治疗(CDT)是一种具有最小副作用的新型癌症治疗方法。由于单一 CDT 的治疗效果通常并不令人满意,因此通常将其他治疗方式与 CDT 结合使用以提高治疗效果。然而,这种联合治疗系统可能会受到副作用的问题的困扰。在此,我们报告了一种基于 CeO-MnO 纳米棒的 pH 触发的化学动力学/化疗联合治疗纳米医学。这种纳米医学(DOX@PCMNR-RGD)是通过将 RGD 偶联的电荷反转聚合物涂覆在 CeO-MnO 纳米颗粒表面上,然后将阿霉素(DOX)加载到其上而制备的。在温和的酸性条件下,由于电荷反转聚合物,纳米医学的表面电荷可能会从负变为正,从而使其容易被内化到细胞中。此外,肿瘤过表达的过氧化氢(HO)可以在酸性条件下被 DOX@PCMNR-RGD 选择性地催化成高毒性的羟基自由基(˙OH),表现出 CDT 活性。同时,酸性条件可以触发 DOX 的释放,表现出化疗活性。因此,我们的研究提供了一种具有最小副作用的 pH 触发的化学动力学/化疗联合治疗纳米平台。
