Current conventional treatments for malignant melanoma still face limitations, especially low therapeutic efficacy and serious side effects, and more effective strategies are urgently needed to develop them. Delivering biocatalysts into tumors to efficiently trigger in situ cascade reactions has shown huge potential in producing more therapeutic species or generating stronger tumoricidal effects for augmented tumor therapy. Recently, ultrathin 2D metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets have acquired great interest in biocatalysis owing to their large surface areas and abundant accessible active catalytic sites. Herein, an enhanced catalytic therapeutic strategy against melanoma is developed by biocompatible microneedle (MN)-assisted transdermal delivery of a 2D bimetallic MOF nanosheet-based cascade biocatalyst (Cu-TCPP(Fe)@GOD). Profiting from the constructed dissolving MN system, the loaded Cu-TCPP(Fe)@GOD hybrid nanosheets can be accurately delivered into the melanoma sites through skin barriers, and subsequently, trigger the specific cascade catalytic reactions in response to the acidic tumor microenvironment to effectively generate highly toxic hydroxyl radical ( OH) and deplete glucose nutrient for inducing the death of melanoma cells. The ultimate results prove the high melanoma inhibition effect and biosafety of such therapeutic modality, exhibiting a new and promising strategy to conquer malignant melanoma.
目前恶性黑色素瘤的传统治疗方法仍面临局限性,尤其是治疗效果低和副作用严重,因此迫切需要开发更有效的治疗策略。将生物催化剂递送至肿瘤中以有效触发原位级联反应,在产生更多治疗性物质或产生更强的杀肿瘤作用以增强肿瘤治疗方面已显示出巨大潜力。最近,超薄二维金属有机框架(MOF)纳米片因其大表面积和丰富的可及活性催化位点而在生物催化领域备受关注。在此,通过生物相容性微针(MN)辅助经皮递送基于二维双金属MOF纳米片的级联生物催化剂(Cu-TCPP(Fe)@GOD),开发了一种针对黑色素瘤的增强型催化治疗策略。受益于构建的溶解MN系统,负载的Cu-TCPP(Fe)@GOD杂化纳米片可通过皮肤屏障精确递送至黑色素瘤部位,随后,响应酸性肿瘤微环境触发特异性级联催化反应,有效产生高毒性羟基自由基(·OH)并消耗葡萄糖营养物质,从而诱导黑色素瘤细胞死亡。最终结果证明了这种治疗方式对黑色素瘤的高抑制效果和生物安全性,展示了一种攻克恶性黑色素瘤的新的且有前景的策略。
