Lactate-enriched tumor microenvironment (TME) fosters an immunosuppressive milieu to hamper the functionality of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). However, tackling the immunosuppressive effects wrought by lactate accumulation is still a big challenge. Herein, we construct a dual enzyme-driven cascade reaction platform (ILH) with immunosuppressive TME modulation for photoacoustic (PA) imaging-guided catalytic therapy and immune activation. The ILH is composed of iridium (Ir) metallene nanozyme, lactate oxidase (LOx), and hyaluronic acid (HA). The combination of Ir nanozyme and LOx can not only efficiently consume lactate to reverse the immunosuppressive TME into an immunoreactive one by promoting the polarization of TAMs from the M2 to M1 phenotype, thus enhancing antitumor defense, but also alleviate tumor hypoxia as well as induce strong oxidative stress, thus triggering immunogenic cell death (ICD) and activating antitumor immunity. Furthermore, the photothermal performance of Ir nanozyme can strengthen the cascade catalytic ability and endow ILH with a PA response. Based on the changes in PA signals from endogenous molecules, three-dimensional multispectral PA imaging was utilized to track the process of cascade catalytic therapy in vivo. This work provides a nanoplatform for dual enzyme-driven cascade catalytic therapy and immune activation by regulating the immunosuppressive TME.
富含乳酸的肿瘤微环境(TME)促进了免疫抑制微环境,从而阻碍了肿瘤相关巨噬细胞(TAMs)的功能。然而,解决乳酸积累所造成的免疫抑制效应仍然是一个巨大的挑战。在此,我们构建了一种具有免疫抑制 TME 调节功能的双酶驱动级联反应平台(ILH),用于光声(PA)成像引导的催化治疗和免疫激活。ILH 由铱(Ir)金属纳米酶、乳酸氧化酶(LOx)和透明质酸(HA)组成。Ir 纳米酶和 LOx 的结合不仅可以通过促进 TAMs 从 M2 向 M1 表型的极化来有效地消耗乳酸,从而将免疫抑制的 TME 转变为免疫反应性的 TME,从而增强抗肿瘤防御,还可以减轻肿瘤缺氧并诱导强烈的氧化应激,从而引发免疫原性细胞死亡(ICD)并激活抗肿瘤免疫。此外,Ir 纳米酶的光热性能可以增强级联催化能力,并赋予 ILH 对 PA 响应。基于内源性分子的 PA 信号变化,利用三维多光谱 PA 成像在体跟踪级联催化治疗过程。这项工作通过调节免疫抑制性 TME,为双酶驱动级联催化治疗和免疫激活提供了一种纳米平台。
