Pyroptosis, an immunogenic programmed cell death, could efficiently activate tumor immunogenicity and reprogram immunosuppressive microenvironment for boosting cancer immunotherapy. However, the overexpression of SLC7A11 promotes glutathione biosynthesis for maintaining redox balance and countering pyroptosis. Herein, we develop intermetallics modified with glucose oxidase (GOx) and soybean phospholipid (SP) as pyroptosis promoters (PdSn@GOx-SP), that not only induce pyroptosis by cascade biocatalysis for remodeling tumor microenvironment and facilitating tumor cell immunogenicity, but also trigger disulfidptosis mediated by cystine accumulation to further promote tumor pyroptosis in female mice. Experiments and density functional theory calculations show that PdSn nanorods with an intermediate size exhibit stronger photothermal and enzyme catalytic activity compared with the other three morphologies investigated. The peroxidase-mimic and oxidase-mimic activities of PdSn cause potent reactive oxygen species (ROS) storms for triggering pyroptosis, which could be self-reinforced by photothermal effect, hydrogen peroxide supply accompanied by glycometabolism, and oxygen production from catalase-mimic activity of PdSn. Moreover, the increase of NADP/NADPH ratio induced by glucose starvation could pose excessive cystine accumulation and inhibit glutathione synthesis, which could cause disulfidptosis and further augment ROS-mediated pyroptosis, respectively. This two-pronged treatment strategy could represent an alternative therapeutic approach to expand anti-tumor immunotherapy.
细胞焦亡作为一种免疫原性程序性细胞死亡,可有效激活肿瘤免疫原性并重塑免疫抑制微环境,从而增强癌症免疫治疗效果。然而,SLC7A11 的过表达会促进谷胱甘肽的生物合成,以维持氧化还原平衡并抑制细胞焦亡。在此,我们开发了一种基于葡萄糖氧化酶(GOx)和大豆磷脂(SP)修饰的金属间化合物作为细胞焦亡促进剂(PdSn@GOx-SP),它不仅可以通过级联生物催化重塑肿瘤微环境并促进肿瘤细胞免疫原性,从而诱导细胞焦亡,还可以通过胱氨酸积累引发二硫键细胞死亡,以进一步促进雌性小鼠的肿瘤细胞焦亡。实验和密度泛函理论计算表明,与所研究的其他三种形态相比,具有中等尺寸的 PdSn 纳米棒具有更强的光热和酶催化活性。PdSn 的过氧化物酶模拟和氧化酶模拟活性引发强烈的活性氧(ROS)爆发,从而触发细胞焦亡,这一过程可以通过光热效应、伴随糖代谢的过氧化氢供应以及 PdSn 的过氧化氢酶模拟活性产生的氧气来自我增强。此外,葡萄糖饥饿引起的 NADP/NADPH 比值增加会导致过量的胱氨酸积累并抑制谷胱甘肽合成,这分别会导致二硫键细胞死亡和进一步增强 ROS 介导的细胞焦亡。这种双管齐下的治疗策略可能代表了扩大抗肿瘤免疫治疗的一种替代治疗方法。
