Improving cancer therapy by targeting the adverse tumor microenvironment (TME) rather than the cancer cells presents a novel and potentially effective strategy. In this study, we introduced FeMoS nanoparticles (NPs), which act as sequential bioreactors to manipulate the TME. FeMoS NPs were synthesized using thermal decomposition and modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG). Their morphology, chemical composition, and photothermal properties were characterized. The capability to produce ROS and deplete GSH was evaluated. Effects on CRC cells, including cell viability, apoptosis, and glycolysis, were tested through various in vitro assays. In vivo efficacy was determined using CRC-bearing mouse models and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. The impact on the MAPK signaling pathway and tumor metabolism was also examined. The FeMoS NPs showed efficient catalytic activity, leading to increased ROS production and GSH depletion, inducing ferroptosis, and suppressing glycolysis in CRC cells. In vivo, the NPs significantly inhibited tumor growth, particularly when combined with NIR light therapy, indicating a synergistic effect of photothermal therapy and chemodynamic therapy. Biosafety assessments revealed no significant toxicity in treated mice. RNA sequencing suggested that the NPs impact metabolism and potentially immune processes within CRC cells. FeMoS NPs present a promising multifaceted approach for CRC treatment, effectively targeting tumor cells while maintaining biosafety. The nanoparticles exhibit potential for clinical translation, offering a new avenue for cancer therapy.
通过靶向肿瘤微环境(TME)而不是癌细胞来改善癌症治疗,提出了一种新颖且有潜在疗效的策略。在本研究中,我们引入了 FeMoS 纳米颗粒(NPs),它们作为连续生物反应器来操纵 TME。通过热分解法合成了 FeMoS NPs,并对其进行了聚乙二醇(PEG)修饰。对其形态、化学成分和光热性能进行了表征。评估了其产生 ROS 和耗竭 GSH 的能力。通过各种体外实验测试了它们对 CRC 细胞的影响,包括细胞活力、细胞凋亡和糖酵解。使用 CRC 荷瘤小鼠模型和患者来源的异种移植(PDX)模型评估了体内疗效。还研究了其对 MAPK 信号通路和肿瘤代谢的影响。FeMoS NPs 表现出高效的催化活性,导致 ROS 生成增加和 GSH 耗竭,诱导铁死亡,并抑制 CRC 细胞中的糖酵解。在体内,NPs 显著抑制肿瘤生长,尤其是与近红外光疗联合使用时,表明光热疗法和化学动力学疗法具有协同作用。生物安全性评估显示,治疗小鼠没有明显的毒性。RNA 测序表明,NPs 影响 CRC 细胞内的代谢和潜在的免疫过程。FeMoS NPs 为 CRC 治疗提供了一种有前途的多方面方法,能够有效靶向肿瘤细胞,同时保持生物安全性。这些纳米颗粒具有临床转化的潜力,为癌症治疗提供了新途径。
