Cellular communication mediated by messenger molecules plays an important role in the progression of cancer. Herein, pH-sensitive zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) loaded with PtCl(OH)(NH) [i.e., Pt(IV)] bimetallic nanoplatforms were developed for prostate cancer therapy by interfering inositol-1, 4, 5-trisphosphate (IP3)-mediated cellular communication. As an important messenger in cells, the function of IP3 was found to be efficiently interfered with by the Pt(IV)-binding inositol unit. This finding effect of Pt(IV) is totally different from its traditional function as a prodrug of -platinum for chemotherapy. The decreased IP3 signal further downregulated the cytoplasmic Ca concentration and downstream signal transduction to inhibit proliferation and invasion of tumor cells. Meanwhile, Zn released from ZIF-8 under an acidic tumor microenvironment decreased adenosine triphosphate biosynthesis, which could further limit the cellular communication. Such a proposed strategy of interfering cellular communication has demonstrated its feasibility in this study, which may provide new perspectives for cancer therapy.
信使分子介导的细胞通讯在癌症的进展中起着重要作用。在此,通过干扰三磷酸肌醇(IP3)介导的细胞通讯,开发了负载 PtCl(OH)(NH)[即 Pt(IV)]双金属纳米平台的 pH 敏感沸石咪唑酯骨架-8(ZIF-8)用于前列腺癌治疗。作为细胞中的一种重要信使,发现 IP3 的功能可被 Pt(IV)结合的肌醇单元有效干扰。这种 Pt(IV)的发现效果与传统的作为化疗前药的 -铂的作用完全不同。减少的 IP3 信号进一步下调细胞质 Ca 浓度和下游信号转导,以抑制肿瘤细胞的增殖和侵袭。同时,在酸性肿瘤微环境下从 ZIF-8 中释放的 Zn 会减少三磷酸腺苷的生物合成,这进一步限制了细胞通讯。这种干扰细胞通讯的策略在本研究中证明了其可行性,这可能为癌症治疗提供新的视角。
