High-entropy nanomaterials (HEMs) are a hot topic in the fields of energy and catalysis. However, in terms of promising biomedical applications, potential therapeutic studies involving HEMs are unprecedented. Herein, we demonstrated high entropy two-dimensional layered double hydroxide () nanoplatforms with versatile physicochemical advantages that reprogram the tumor microenvironment (TME) and provide antitumor treatment via cascaded nanoenzyme-initiated chemodynamic and immune synergistic therapy. In response to the TME, the multifunctional sequentially release metal ions, such as Co, Fe, and Cu, exhibiting exquisite superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activities. The multiple enzymatic activities convert specific tumor metabolites into a continuous supply of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) to relieve hypoxia under a TME. Thus, facilitate robust nanozyme-initiated chemodynamic therapy (NCDT), achieving high therapeutic efficacy without obvious side effects. In addition, the release of Zn from the matrix triggers the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase/stimulator of interferon gene (cGAS/STING) signaling pathway, boosting the innate immunotherapeutic efficacy. The intratumoral applications of the nanocomposite in tumor-bearing mice models indicate that -mediated NCDT and immune synergistic therapy effectively upregulated the expression of relevant antitumor cytokines and induced cytotoxic T lymphocyte infiltration, showing superior efficacy in inhibiting tumor growth. Therefore, this work opens a new research direction toward synchronized NCDT and immunotherapy of tumors using HEMs for advanced healthcare.
高熵纳米材料(HEMs)是能源和催化领域的热门话题。然而,就有前景的生物医学应用而言,涉及HEMs的潜在治疗研究尚无先例。在此,我们展示了具有多种物理化学优势的高熵二维层状双氢氧化物()纳米平台,该平台可重新编程肿瘤微环境(TME),并通过级联纳米酶引发的化学动力学和免疫协同疗法提供抗肿瘤治疗。响应TME,多功能依次释放金属离子,如Co、Fe和Cu,表现出出色的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPX)活性。多种酶活性将特定的肿瘤代谢物转化为细胞毒性活性氧(ROS)的持续供应,以缓解TME下的缺氧。因此,促进了强大的纳米酶引发的化学动力学疗法(NCDT),实现了高治疗效果且无明显副作用。此外,从基质中释放的Zn触发了环GMP-AMP合酶/干扰素基因刺激物(cGAS/STING)信号通路,提高了先天免疫治疗效果。纳米复合材料在荷瘤小鼠模型中的瘤内应用表明,介导的NCDT和免疫协同疗法有效地上调了相关抗肿瘤细胞因子的表达,并诱导了细胞毒性T淋巴细胞浸润,在抑制肿瘤生长方面显示出卓越的疗效。因此,这项工作为利用HEMs进行肿瘤同步NCDT和免疫治疗以实现先进医疗保健开辟了新的研究方向。
