Amplifying oxidative stress within tumor cells can effectively inhibit the growth and metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Therefore, the development of innovative nanomedicines that can effectively disrupt the redox balance represents a promising yet challenging therapeutic strategy for TNBC. In this study, an oxidative stress amplifier, denoted as PBCH, comprising PdAg mesoporous nanozyme and a CaP mineralized layer, loaded with GSH inhibitor L-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), and further surface-modified with hyaluronic acid that can target CD44, is introduced. In the acidic tumor microenvironment, Ca is initially released, thereby leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and eventually triggering apoptosis. Additionally, BSO suppresses the synthesis of intracellular reduced GSH and further amplifies the level of oxidative stress in cancer cells. Furthermore, PdAg nanozyme can be activated by near-infrared light to induce photothermal and photodynamic effects, causing a burst of ROS and simultaneously promoting cell apoptosis via provoking immunogenic cell death. The high-performance therapeutic effects of PBCH, based on the synergistic effect of aforementioned multiple oxidative damage and photothermal ablation, are validated in TNBC cells and animal models, declaring its potential as a safe and effective anti-tumor agent. The proposed approach offers new perspectives for precise and efficient treatment of TNBC.
增强肿瘤细胞内的氧化应激可有效抑制三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)的生长和转移。因此,开发能够有效破坏氧化还原平衡的创新型纳米药物是一种有前景但具有挑战性的TNBC治疗策略。在本研究中,引入了一种氧化应激放大器,称为PBCH,它由PdAg介孔纳米酶和CaP矿化层组成,负载谷胱甘肽抑制剂L-丁硫氨酸亚砜胺(BSO),并进一步用可靶向CD44的透明质酸进行表面修饰。在酸性肿瘤微环境中,Ca最初被释放,从而导致线粒体功能障碍并最终引发细胞凋亡。此外,BSO抑制细胞内还原型谷胱甘肽的合成,并进一步放大癌细胞中的氧化应激水平。此外,PdAg纳米酶可被近红外光激活以诱导光热和光动力效应,产生大量活性氧(ROS),同时通过引发免疫原性细胞死亡促进细胞凋亡。基于上述多种氧化损伤和光热消融的协同效应,PBCH在TNBC细胞和动物模型中验证了其高效的治疗效果,表明其作为一种安全有效的抗肿瘤药物的潜力。所提出的方法为TNBC的精确高效治疗提供了新的视角。
