Pyroptosis is a pro-inflammatory cell death that is associated with innate immunity promotion against tumors. Excess nitric oxide (NO)-triggered nitric stress has potential to induce pyroptosis, but the precise delivery of NO is challenging. Ultrasound (US)-responsive NO production has dominant priority due to its deep penetration, low side effects, noninvasion, and local activation manner. In this work, US-sensitive NO donor N-methyl-N-nitrosoaniline (NMA) with thermodynamically favorable structure is selected and loaded into hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified hollow manganese dioxide nanoparticles (hMnO NPs) to fabricate hMnO @HA@NMA (MHN) nanogenerators (NGs). The obtained NGs have a record-high NO generation efficiency under US irradiation and can release Mn after targeting the tumor sites. Later on, cascade tumor pyroptosis and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING)-based immunotherapy is achieved and tumor growth is effectively inhibited.
细胞焦亡是一种与先天免疫促进肿瘤相关的促炎细胞死亡。过量的一氧化氮 (NO) 引发的氮应激有可能诱导细胞焦亡,但 NO 的精确传递具有挑战性。由于其具有深穿透性、低副作用、非侵入性和局部激活方式,超声 (US) 响应型 NO 产生具有主要优势。在这项工作中,选择了热力学有利结构的超声敏感型一氧化氮供体 N-甲基-N-亚硝基苯胺 (NMA),并将其装载到透明质酸 (HA) 修饰的中空二氧化锰纳米粒子 (hMnO NPs) 中,以制备 hMnO@HA@NMA (MHN) 纳米发电机 (NG)。所得到的 NGs 在 US 照射下具有创纪录的高 NO 生成效率,并可以在靶向肿瘤部位后释放 Mn。随后,实现了级联肿瘤细胞焦亡和基于环鸟苷酸-腺苷酸合酶-干扰素基因刺激物 (cGAS-STING) 的免疫治疗,有效地抑制了肿瘤生长。
