Of the most common, hypoxia, overexpressed glutathione (GSH), and insufficient HO concentration in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are the main barriers to the advancment of reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated Xdynamic therapies (X = photo, chemodynamic, chemo). Maximizing Fenton catalytic efficiency is crucial in chemodynamic therapy (CDT), yet endogenous HO levels are not sufficient to attain better anticancer efficacy. Specifically, there is a need to amplify Fenton reactivity within tumors, leveraging the unique attributes of the TME. Herein, for the first time, we design RuCuO-Ce6/CPT (RCpCCPT) anticancer nanoagent for TME-mediated synergistic therapy based on heterogeneous Ru-Cu peroxide nanodots (RuCuO NDs) and chlorine e6 (Ce6), loaded with ROS-responsive thioketal (TK) linked-camptothecin (CPT). The Ru-Cu peroxide NDs (RCp NDs, = 0.50) possess the highest oxygen vacancy (O) density, which grants them the potential to form massive Lewis's acid sites for peroxide adsorption, while the dispersibility and targetability of the NDs were improved via surface modification using hyaluronic acid (HA). In TME, RCpCCPT degrades, releasing HO, Ru, and Cu ions, which cooperatively facilitate hydroxyl radical (•OH) formation and deactivate antioxidant GSH enzymes through a cocatalytic loop, resulting in excellent tumor therapeutic efficacy. Furthermore, when combined with laser treatment, RCpCCPT produces singlet oxygen (O) for PDT, which induces cell apoptosis at tumor sites. Following ROS generation, the TK linkage is disrupted, releasing up to 92% of the CPT within 48 h. In vitro investigations showed that laser-treated RCpCCPT caused 81.5% cell death from PDT/CDT and chemotherapy (CT). RCpCCPT in cancer cells produces red-blue emission in images of cells taking them in, which allows for fluorescence image-guided Xdynamic treatment. The overall results show that RCp NDs and RCpCCPT are more biocompatible and have excellent Xdynamic therapeutic effectiveness in vitro and in vivo.
在最常见的情况下,肿瘤微环境 (TME) 中的缺氧、过度表达的谷胱甘肽 (GSH) 和不足的 HO 浓度是限制活性氧 (ROS) 介导的 Xdynamic 治疗 (X = 光、化学动力学、化疗) 进展的主要障碍。在化学动力学治疗 (CDT) 中,最大限度地提高芬顿催化效率至关重要,但内源性 HO 水平不足以达到更好的抗癌疗效。具体来说,需要在肿瘤内放大芬顿反应性,利用 TME 的独特属性。在这里,我们首次设计了基于异质 Ru-Cu 过氧化物纳米点 (RuCuO NDs) 和氯 e6 (Ce6) 的 RuCuO-Ce6/CPT (RCpCCPT) 抗癌纳米制剂,用于 TME 介导的协同治疗,负载 ROS 响应硫缩酮 (TK) 连接的喜树碱 (CPT)。Ru-Cu 过氧化物 NDs (RCp NDs, = 0.50) 具有最高的氧空位 (O) 密度,这使它们有可能形成大量路易斯酸位来吸附过氧化物,而 NDs 的分散性和靶向性则通过使用透明质酸 (HA) 进行表面改性得到提高。在 TME 中,RCpCCPT 降解,释放 HO、Ru 和 Cu 离子,这些离子通过共催化循环协同促进羟基自由基 (•OH) 的形成并使抗氧化剂 GSH 酶失活,从而产生优异的肿瘤治疗效果。此外,当与激光治疗结合使用时,RCpCCPT 会产生用于 PDT 的单线态氧 (O),从而在肿瘤部位诱导细胞凋亡。ROS 产生后,TK 键断裂,48 小时内释放高达 92%的 CPT。体外研究表明,激光处理的 RCPCCPT 导致 PDT/CDT 和化疗 (CT) 引起的 81.5%的细胞死亡。癌细胞中的 RCP 纳米颗粒在细胞摄取时产生红蓝发射,这使得可以进行荧光图像引导的 Xdynamic 治疗。总体结果表明,RCp 纳米颗粒和 RCPCCPT 在体外和体内具有更好的生物相容性和优异的 Xdynamic 治疗效果。
