The efficacy and biosafety of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) are closely related to the properties of sonosensitizers. Inorganic sonosensitizers with high chemical stability and low dark toxicity are generally limited by slow metabolism and accumulation in vivo. Combined treatment strategies by inducing more redox imbalance are expected to improve the efficacy of sonodynamic antitumor therapy. Herein, we report the development of ultra-small iron-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (FZO NPs) to achieve synergistic sono-chemodynamic therapy and low accumulation in vivo. The surface of FZO NPs with diameter of 5 nm was modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and polyethylene glycol 600 to obtain FZO-ASP with good aqueous stability. FZO-ASP with iron doping could trigger Fenton reaction and induce ferroptosis in cancer cells. With the assistance of ultrasonic energy, FZO-ASP demonstrated enhanced inhibitory effects on proliferation of various cancer cells and murine breast tumor growth than undoped counterpart. In addition, FZO-ASP injected intravenously could be effectively excreted in vivo and showed no obvious cumulative toxicity to the treated mice. Hence, this type of ultra-small iron-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles could serve as a safe and efficient sonosensitizer agent for synergistic sono-chemodynamic cancer therapy.
声动力学疗法(SDT)的疗效和生物安全性与其声敏剂的性质密切相关。具有高化学稳定性和低暗毒性的无机声敏剂通常受到体内代谢缓慢和积累的限制。通过诱导更多氧化还原失衡的联合治疗策略有望提高声动力学抗肿瘤治疗的疗效。本文报告了超小铁掺杂氧化锌纳米粒子(FZO NPs)的开发,以实现协同声化学动力学治疗和体内低积累。直径为 5nm 的 FZO NPs 的表面用 3-氨丙基三乙氧基硅烷和聚乙二醇 600 修饰,得到具有良好水分散性的 FZO-ASP。铁掺杂的 FZO-ASP 可以触发芬顿反应,并诱导癌细胞发生铁死亡。在超声能量的辅助下,FZO-ASP 对各种癌细胞的增殖和鼠乳腺癌的生长表现出比未掺杂的对应物更强的抑制作用。此外,静脉注射 FZO-ASP 可在体内有效排出,对治疗小鼠无明显蓄积毒性。因此,这种超小铁掺杂氧化锌纳米粒子可作为一种安全有效的声敏剂,用于协同声化学动力学癌症治疗。
