Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) that involves the use of Fenton catalysts to convert endogenous hydrogen peroxide (HO) to hydroxyl radicals (·OH) constitutes a promising strategy for cancer therapy; however, insufficient endogenous HO and glutathione (GSH) overexpression render its efficiency unsatisfactory. Herein, we present an intelligent nanocatalyst that comprises copper peroxide nanodots and DOX-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) (DOX@MSN@CuO) and can self-supply exogenous HO and respond to specific tumor microenvironments (TME). Following endocytosis into tumor cells, DOX@MSN@CuO initially decomposes into Cu and exogenous HO in the weakly acidic TME. Subsequently, Cu reacts with high GSH concentrations, thereby inducing GSH depletion and reducing Cu to Cu Next, the generated Cu undergoes Fenton-like reactions with exogenous HO to accelerate toxic ·OH production, which exhibits a rapid reaction rate and is responsible for tumor cell apoptosis, thereby enhancing CDT. Furthermore, the successful delivery of DOX from the MSNs achieves chemotherapy and CDT integration. Thus, this excellent strategy can resolve the problem of insufficient CDT efficacy due to limited HO and GSH overexpression. Integrating HO self-supply and GSH deletion enhances CDT, and DOX-induced chemotherapy endows DOX@MSN@CuO with effective tumor growth-inhibiting properties alongside minimal side effects in vivo.
化学动力疗法(CDT)涉及使用芬顿催化剂将内源性过氧化氢(H₂O₂)转化为羟基自由基(·OH),是一种很有前景的癌症治疗策略;然而,内源性H₂O₂不足和谷胱甘肽(GSH)过表达导致其疗效不尽人意。在此,我们提出一种智能纳米催化剂,它由过氧化铜纳米点和负载阿霉素的介孔二氧化硅纳米颗粒(MSNs)组成(DOX@MSN@CuO),能够自我供应外源性H₂O₂并对特定肿瘤微环境(TME)做出响应。被肿瘤细胞内吞后,DOX@MSN@CuO最初在弱酸性TME中分解为Cu和外源性H₂O₂。随后,Cu与高浓度的GSH反应,从而导致GSH消耗并将Cu还原为Cu⁺。接下来,生成的Cu⁺与外源性H₂O₂发生类芬顿反应,加速有毒·OH的产生,其反应速率很快,可导致肿瘤细胞凋亡,从而增强CDT。此外,从MSNs成功递送阿霉素实现了化疗与CDT的整合。因此,这一卓越策略能够解决由于H₂O₂有限和GSH过表达导致的CDT疗效不足的问题。整合H₂O₂自我供应和GSH消耗可增强CDT,并且阿霉素诱导的化疗赋予DOX@MSN@CuO有效的肿瘤生长抑制特性,同时在体内副作用最小。
