Cancer immunotherapy remains a significant challenge due to insufficient proliferation of immune cells and the sturdy immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Herein, we proposed the hypothesis of cuproptosis-lactate regulation to provoke cuproptosis and enhance anti-tumor immunity. For this purpose, copper-human serum albumin nanocomplex loaded gold nanocages with bacterial membrane coating (BAu-CuNCs) were developed. The targeted delivery and disassembly of BAu-CuNCs in tumor cells initiated a cascade of reactions. Under near infrared (NIR) laser irradiation, the release of copper-human serum albumin (Cu-HSA) was enhanced that reacted with intratumoral glutathione (GSH) via a disulfide exchange reaction to liberate Cu ions and exert cuproptosis. Subsequently, the cuproptosis effect triggered immunogenic cell death (ICD) in tumor by the release of damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) to realize anti-tumor immunity via robust production of cytotoxic T cells (CD8) and helper T cells (CD4). Meanwhile, under NIR irradiation, gold nanocages (AuNCs) promoted excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation that played a primary role in inhibiting glycolysis, reducing the lactate and ATP level. The combine action of lower lactate level, ATP reduction and GSH depletion further sensitized the tumor cells to cuproptosis. Also, the lower lactate production led to the significant blockage of immunosuppressive T regulatory cells (Tregs) and boosted the anti-tumor immunity. Additionally, the effective inhibition of breast cancer metastasis to the lungs enhanced the anti-tumor therapeutic impact of BAu-CuNCs + NIR treatment. Hence, BAu-CuNCs + NIR concurrently induced cuproptosis, ICD and hindered lactate production, leading to the inhibition of tumor growth, remodeling of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and suppression of lung metastasis. Therefore, leveraging cuproptosis-lactate regulation, this approach presents a novel strategy for enhanced tumor immunotherapy.
