Although radiotherapeutic efficiency has been revealed to be positively correlated with ferroptosis, the neutral/alkaline cytoplasm pH value of tumor cells remains an intrinsic challenge for efficient Fenton/Fenton-like reaction-based ferroptosis induction. Herein, PEGylated hollow mesoporous organosilica nanotheranostics (HMON)-GOx@MnO nanoparticles (HGMP NPs) were designed as a ferroptosis inducer, which could specifically release Mn in tumor cells to activate the Fenton-like reaction for ferroptosis induction. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) were synchronously administered for cytoplasm pH level regulation by inhibiting V-H-ATPases activity, enhancing Fenton-like reaction-based ferroptosis induction. Moreover, reactive oxygen species production was facilitated via the glucose oxidase triggered cascade catalytic reaction by utilizing intracellular β-D-glucose for HO self-supply and generation of additional cytoplasm H. The PPI enhanced ferroptosis inducing nanosystem effectively inhibited tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo for tumor-specific ferroptosis induction and radiotherapy sensitization, suggesting that PPI administration could be an efficient adjuvant to reinforce Fenton/Fenton-like reaction-based ferroptosis induction for radiosensitization. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The cytoplasm pH value of tumor cells is typically neutral to alkaline, which is higher than that of the Fenton/Fenton-like reaction desired acidic environments, hindering its efficiency. In this study, PEGylated hollow mesoporous organosilica nanotheranostics (HMON)-GOx@MnO nanoparticles were synthesized as a ferroptosis inducer, which could specifically release Mn via depleting glutathione and then activate the Fenton-like reaction in the tumor microenvironment. The glucose oxidase was applied for HO self-supply and addition of cytoplasm H to further boost the Fenton-like reaction. We found that proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) increased intracellular acidification by inhibiting the activity of V-H-ATPases to enhance the Fenton reaction-based ferroptosis induction, suggesting PPIs administration could be a feasible strategy to reinforce ferroptosis induction for radiosensitization.
尽管已发现放射治疗效率与铁死亡呈正相关,但肿瘤细胞中性/碱性细胞质pH值仍是基于芬顿/类芬顿反应高效诱导铁死亡的一个内在挑战。在此,聚乙二醇化中空介孔有机硅纳米诊疗剂(HMON)-葡萄糖氧化酶@二氧化锰纳米颗粒(HGMP NPs)被设计为一种铁死亡诱导剂,其可在肿瘤细胞中特异性释放锰以激活类芬顿反应来诱导铁死亡。通过抑制V-H-ATP酶活性同步给予质子泵抑制剂(PPI)以调节细胞质pH水平,增强基于类芬顿反应的铁死亡诱导。此外,通过利用细胞内β-D-葡萄糖进行HO自供应并产生额外的细胞质H,葡萄糖氧化酶触发的级联催化反应促进了活性氧的产生。PPI增强的铁死亡诱导纳米系统在体外和体内均有效抑制肿瘤生长,用于肿瘤特异性铁死亡诱导和放射增敏,这表明给予PPI可能是一种有效的辅助手段,可加强基于芬顿/类芬顿反应的铁死亡诱导以实现放射增敏。意义声明:肿瘤细胞的细胞质pH值通常呈中性至碱性,高于芬顿/类芬顿反应所需的酸性环境,这阻碍了其效率。在本研究中,合成了聚乙二醇化中空介孔有机硅纳米诊疗剂(HMON)-葡萄糖氧化酶@二氧化锰纳米颗粒作为铁死亡诱导剂,其可通过消耗谷胱甘肽特异性释放锰,然后在肿瘤微环境中激活类芬顿反应。应用葡萄糖氧化酶进行HO自供应并添加细胞质H以进一步促进类芬顿反应。我们发现质子泵抑制剂(PPI)通过抑制V-H-ATP酶的活性增加细胞内酸化,以增强基于芬顿反应的铁死亡诱导,这表明给予PPI可能是一种可行的策略,以加强铁死亡诱导实现放射增敏。
