Cuproptosis shows good application prospects in tumor therapy. However, the copper efflux mechanism and highly expressed intracellular reducing substances can inhibit the cuproptosis effects. In this study, a platelet vesicle (PV) coated cuprous oxide nanoparticle (CuO)/TBP-2 cuproptosis sensitization system (PTC) was constructed for multiple induction of tumor cuproptosis. PTC was prepared by physical extrusion of AIE photosensitizer (TBP-2), CuO, and PV. After the biomimetic modification, PTC can enhance its long-term blood circulation and tumor targeting ability. Subsequently, PTC was rapidly degraded to release copper ions under acid conditions and hydrogen peroxides in tumor cells. Then, under light irradiation, TBP-2 quickly enters the cell membrane and generates hydroxyl radicals to consume glutathione and inhibit copper efflux. Accumulated copper can cause lipoylated protein aggregation and iron-sulfur protein loss, which result in proteotoxic stress and ultimately cuproptosis. PTC treatment can target and induce cuproptosis in tumor cells in vitro and in vivo, significantly inhibit lung metastasis of breast cancer, increase the number of central memory T cells in peripheral blood, and prevent tumor rechallenge. It provides an idea for the design of nanomedicine based on cuproptosis.
铜死亡在肿瘤治疗中显示出良好的应用前景。然而,铜外流机制和高表达的细胞内还原物质会抑制铜死亡效应。在这项研究中,构建了一种血小板囊泡(PV)包裹的氧化亚铜纳米颗粒(CuO)/TBP-2 铜死亡敏化系统(PTC),用于多种肿瘤铜死亡的诱导。PTC 通过 AIE 光敏剂(TBP-2)、CuO 和 PV 的物理挤压制备。经过仿生修饰后,PTC 可以增强其长期的血液循环和肿瘤靶向能力。随后,PTC 在肿瘤细胞中的酸性条件和过氧化氢下迅速降解,释放铜离子。然后,在光照射下,TBP-2 迅速进入细胞膜并产生羟基自由基来消耗谷胱甘肽并抑制铜外流。积累的铜会导致脂酰化蛋白聚集和铁硫蛋白丢失,导致蛋白毒性应激,最终导致铜死亡。PTC 处理可以在体外和体内靶向和诱导肿瘤细胞发生铜死亡,显著抑制乳腺癌的肺转移,增加外周血中中央记忆 T 细胞的数量,并防止肿瘤再挑战。它为基于铜死亡的纳米医学设计提供了一种思路。
