Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) as an emerging method for cancer therapy has encountered difficulty in insufficient production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially in tumor microenvironment (TME) with elevated antioxidants and hypoxic conditions. In this work, the authors have fabricated heterostructured manganese dioxide (MnO)-coated BaTiO nanoparticles (BTO@M NPs) as a piezoelectric sonosensitizer, which exhibits the capacity of remodeling TME and multienzyme-like catalysis for boosting SDT. Benefitting from the piezotronic effect, the formation of a p-n junction between MnO and piezoelectric BTO with a built-in electric field and band bending efficiently promotes the separation of charge carriers, facilitating the generation of superoxide anion (•O ) and hydroxyl radical (•OH) under ultrasound (US) stimulation. Moreover, BTO@M NPs can catalyze the overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (HO) in TME to produce oxygen for replenishing the gas source in SDT, and also deplete antioxidant glutathione (GSH), realizing TME remodeling. During this process, the reduced Mn(II) can convert HO into •OH, further amplifying cellular oxidative damage. With these combination effects, the versatile BTO@M NPs exhibit prominent cytotoxicity and tumor growth inhibition against 4T1 breast cancer. This work provides a feasible strategy for constructing high-efficiency sonosensitizers for cancer SDT.
声动力疗法(SDT)作为一种新兴的癌症治疗方法,在活性氧(ROS)生成不足方面遇到了困难,尤其是在具有高抗氧化剂和缺氧条件的肿瘤微环境(TME)中。在这项工作中,作者制备了异质结构的二氧化锰(MnO)包覆的钛酸钡纳米颗粒(BTO@M NPs)作为压电声敏剂,它具有重塑TME和多酶样催化的能力,以增强SDT。受益于压电子效应,MnO与具有内建电场和能带弯曲的压电BTO之间形成的p-n结有效地促进了电荷载流子的分离,有利于在超声(US)刺激下产生超氧阴离子(•O )和羟基自由基(•OH)。此外,BTO@M NPs可以催化TME中过表达的过氧化氢(HO)产生氧气,用于补充SDT中的气源,还可以消耗抗氧化剂谷胱甘肽(GSH),实现TME重塑。在此过程中,还原态的Mn(II)可以将HO转化为•OH,进一步放大细胞氧化损伤。通过这些联合作用,多功能的BTO@M NPs对4T1乳腺癌表现出显著的细胞毒性和肿瘤生长抑制作用。这项工作为构建用于癌症SDT的高效声敏剂提供了一种可行的策略。
