Photothermal therapy (PTT) combined with chemodynamic therapy (CDT) presents an appealing complementary anti-tumor strategy, wherein PTT accelerates the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in CDT and CDT eliminates residual tumor tissues that survive from PTT treatment. However, nanomaterials utilized in PTT/CDT are limited by non-specific damage to the entire organism. Herein, a glucose-responsive enzymatic Fe@HRP-ABTS/GOx nanodot is judiciously designed for tumor-specific PTT/CDT via a simple and clean protein-templated biomimetic mineralization synthesis. By oxidizing glucose in tumor cells, glucose oxidase (GOx) activates glucose-responsive tumor therapy and increases the concentration of HO at the tumor site. More importantly, the self-supplied peroxide hydrogen (HO) can convert ABTS (2,2'-Hydrazine-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diamine salt) into oxidized ABTS (oxABTS) through horseradish peroxidase (HRP) catalysis for PTT and photoacoustic (PA) imaging. Furthermore, the Fe arising from the reduction of Fe by overexpressed GSH reacts with HO to generate intensely reactive •OH through the Fenton reaction, concurrently depleting GSH and inducing efficient tumor CDT. The in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate superior cancer cell killing and tumor eradication effect of Fe@HRP-ABTS/GOx nanodot under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. Collectively, the nanodots provide mutually reinforcing catalytic PTT/CDT anti-tumor strategies for treating liver cancer and potentially other malignancies. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Combinatorial antitumor therapy with nanomedicines presents great prospects for development. However, the limitation of non-specific damage to normal tissues hinders its further clinical application. In this work, we fabricated tumor-selective biomimetic Fe@HRP-ABTS/GOx nanodots for HO self-supplied catalytic photothermal/chemodynamic therapy of tumors. The biomimetic synthesis strategy provides the nanodots with enzymatic activity in response to glucose to produce HO. The self-supplied HO initiates photothermal therapy with oxidized ABTS and enhances chemodynamic therapy through simultaneous •OH generation and GSH depletion. Our work provides a new paradigm for developing tumor-selective catalytic nanomedicines and will guide further clinical translation of the enzymatic biomimetic synthesis strategy.
光热治疗(PTT)与化学动力学治疗(CDT)相结合,提供了一种有吸引力的互补抗肿瘤策略,其中 PTT 加速 CDT 中活性氧(ROS)的产生,CDT 消除 PTT 治疗后存活的残留肿瘤组织。然而,用于 PTT/CDT 的纳米材料受到对整个生物体的非特异性损伤的限制。在此,通过简单而清洁的蛋白质模板仿生矿化合成,巧妙设计了葡萄糖响应性酶 Fe@HRP-ABTS/GOx 纳米点,用于肿瘤特异性 PTT/CDT。通过氧化肿瘤细胞中的葡萄糖,葡萄糖氧化酶(GOx)激活葡萄糖响应性肿瘤治疗并增加肿瘤部位 HO 的浓度。更重要的是,自供应的过氧化物氢(HO)可以通过辣根过氧化物酶(HRP)催化将 ABTS(2,2'-Hydrazine-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)diamine salt)转化为氧化 ABTS(oxABTS),用于 PTT 和光声(PA)成像。此外,由过表达 GSH 还原产生的 Fe 与 HO 反应,通过 Fenton 反应生成强反应性 •OH,同时耗尽 GSH 并诱导有效的肿瘤 CDT。体外和体内实验证明,在近红外(NIR)激光照射下,Fe@HRP-ABTS/GOx 纳米点具有优越的癌细胞杀伤和肿瘤消除效果。综上所述,纳米点为治疗肝癌和潜在其他恶性肿瘤提供了相互增强的催化 PTT/CDT 抗肿瘤策略。
意义声明:联合使用纳米药物进行抗肿瘤治疗具有广阔的发展前景。然而,对正常组织的非特异性损伤限制了其进一步的临床应用。在这项工作中,我们制备了肿瘤选择性仿生 Fe@HRP-ABTS/GOx 纳米点,用于肿瘤的 HO 自供应催化光热/化学动力学治疗。仿生合成策略赋予纳米点对葡萄糖的酶活性,以产生 HO。自供应的 HO 通过氧化 ABTS 引发光热治疗,并通过同时生成 •OH 和耗尽 GSH 来增强化学动力学治疗。我们的工作为开发肿瘤选择性催化纳米药物提供了新的范例,并将指导酶仿生合成策略的进一步临床转化。
