Nanocatalytic therapy (NCT) has made great achievements in tumor treatments due to its remarkable enzyme-like activities and high specificity. Nevertheless, the limited types of nanozymes and undesirable tumor microenvironments (TME) greatly weaken the therapeutic efficiency. Developing a combination therapy integrating NCT and other strategies is of great significance for optimal treatment outcomes. Herein, a AuPt-loaded Cu-doped polydopamine nanocomposite (AuPt@Cu-PDA) with multiple enzyme-like activities was rationally designed, which integrated photothermal therapy (PTT) and NCT. The peroxidase (POD)-like activity of AuPt@Cu-PDA can catalyze hydrogen peroxide (HO) into ·OH, and the catalase (CAT)-mimic activity can decompose HO into O to alleviate hypoxia of TME, and O can be further converted into toxic ·O by its oxidase (OXD)-mimic activity. In addition, Cu in AuPt@Cu-PDA can effectively consume GSH overexpressed in tumor cells. The boosting of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione (GSH) depletion can lead to severe oxidative stress, which can be enhanced by its excellent photothermal performance. Most importantly, the accumulation of Cu can disrupt copper homeostasis, promote the aggregation of lipoylated dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase (DLAT), disrupt the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and finally result in cuproptosis. Collectively, photothermal and photoacoustic imaging (PTI/PAI)-guided cuproptosis-enhanced NCT/PTT can be achieved. This work may expand the application of nanozymes in synergistic therapy and provide new insights into cuproptosis-related therapeutic strategies.
纳米催化疗法(NCT)由于其显著的酶样活性和高特异性,在肿瘤治疗方面取得了巨大成就。然而,有限的纳米酶类型和不理想的肿瘤微环境(TME)极大地削弱了治疗效果。开发将 NCT 与其他策略相结合的联合治疗对于获得最佳治疗效果具有重要意义。本文合理设计了一种具有多种酶样活性的负载 AuPt 的 Cu 掺杂聚多巴胺纳米复合材料(AuPt@Cu-PDA),将光热治疗(PTT)和 NCT 集成在一起。AuPt@Cu-PDA 的过氧化物酶(POD)样活性可以催化过氧化氢(HO)生成·OH,而过氧化氢酶(CAT)模拟活性可以将 HO 分解为 O 以减轻 TME 的缺氧,O 可以进一步被其氧化酶(OXD)模拟活性转化为有毒的·O。此外,AuPt@Cu-PDA 中的 Cu 可以有效地消耗肿瘤细胞中过表达的谷胱甘肽(GSH)。活性氧(ROS)的增加和谷胱甘肽(GSH)的耗竭会导致严重的氧化应激,而其优异的光热性能可以进一步增强这种应激。最重要的是,Cu 的积累会破坏铜的体内平衡,促进脂酰化二氢乳清酸脱氢酶 S-乙酰转移酶(DLAT)的聚集,破坏线粒体三羧酸(TCA)循环,最终导致铜死亡。总的来说,可以实现光热和光声成像(PTI/PAI)引导的铜死亡增强的 NCT/PTT。这项工作可能会扩展纳米酶在协同治疗中的应用,并为铜死亡相关治疗策略提供新的思路。
