Cancer cells show unique redox homeostasis. Glutathione (GSH) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) play essential roles as coenzymes of multiple key antioxidant enzymes. Coenzyme depletion offers a unique opportunity for cancer treatment by inducing oxidative stress. Here, we report an innovative hybrid nanocarrier for cancer redox therapy via selective depletion of GSH and NADPH. The nanocarrier core is a sorafenib-loaded porous zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF-65), and the shell is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)-Fe complex (EF). The nitroimidazole ligand in ZIF-65 could selectively deplete NADPH under hypoxia. Sorafenib diminished GSH by inhibiting cystine import and GSH biosynthesis. EGCG can reduce Fe to Fe, which aids the generation of hydroxyl radicals via the Fenton reaction. The reversible coordination between nitroimidazole and Zn, EGCG, and Fe enables triggered cargo release in acidic lysosomes. Tailored nanocarriers induced the depletion of both coenzymes (GSH and NADPH) and boosted reactive oxygen species in a 4T1 murine cancer cell line. The altered redox balance eventually resulted in efficient apoptotic cell death. The current work offers a novel means of redox cancer therapy via the selective depletion of key antioxidant enzymes in hypoxic cells.
癌细胞表现出独特的氧化还原稳态。谷胱甘肽 (GSH) 和还原型烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸磷酸 (NADPH) 作为多种关键抗氧化酶的辅酶,发挥着重要作用。辅酶耗竭通过诱导氧化应激为癌症治疗提供了独特的机会。在这里,我们通过选择性耗尽 GSH 和 NADPH 报告了一种用于癌症氧化还原治疗的创新混合纳米载体。纳米载体的核心是负载索拉非尼的多孔沸石咪唑骨架 (ZIF-65),外壳是表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯 (EGCG)-Fe 配合物 (EF)。ZIF-65 中的硝基咪唑配体在缺氧条件下可以选择性地耗尽 NADPH。索拉非尼通过抑制胱氨酸摄取和 GSH 生物合成来减少 GSH。EGCG 可以将 Fe 还原为 Fe,通过 Fenton 反应有助于生成羟基自由基。硝基咪唑与 Zn、EGCG 和 Fe 之间的可逆配位使载药在酸性溶酶体中实现触发释放。定制的纳米载体诱导两种辅酶 (GSH 和 NADPH) 的耗竭,并在 4T1 鼠癌细胞系中增加活性氧。改变的氧化还原平衡最终导致有效的细胞凋亡死亡。这项工作提供了一种通过选择性耗尽缺氧细胞中关键抗氧化酶来进行氧化还原癌症治疗的新方法。
