Despite considerable advancements in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC), the overall survival rate for patients with advanced CRC remains below 50%, primarily due to challenges posed by drug resistance and metastasis. Here, a novel "Three-in-One" Cu-based metal-organic framework nanozyme with peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity has been successfully developed, aiming to promote CRC cell death by dual targeting of oxidative stress and copper ion homeostasis, which could promote CRC cell death via apoptosis and cuproptosis, and facilitate hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) degradation, leading to the reversal of chemoresistance in tumor therapy. These nanozymes, composed of copper and 2-propylimidazole (Cu-PrIm), feature a distorted Cu-N4 catalytic active center that mimics natural enzyme structures consisting of copper and histidine residues, endowing them with enzyme-like activities. The antitumor efficacy of Cu-PrIm nanozymes is validated in various in vivo models of CRC. Especially Cu-PrIm nanozymes exhibit excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and a tolerable toxicity profile in mouse models, making them a strong candidate for clinical translation. Taken together, the study introduces a novel therapeutic paradigm in CRC treatment by targeting these vulnerabilities and leveraging the potential using "Three-in-One" Cu-PrIm nanozymes to address multiple pathways simultaneously.
尽管在结直肠癌(CRC)治疗方面取得了显著进展,但晚期CRC患者的总体生存率仍低于50%,这主要是由于耐药性和转移带来的挑战。在此,一种具有类过氧化物酶(POD样)活性的新型“三合一”铜基金属有机框架纳米酶已成功研发出来,旨在通过双重靶向氧化应激和铜离子稳态来促进CRC细胞死亡,其可通过凋亡和铜死亡促进CRC细胞死亡,并促进缺氧诱导因子1α(HIF-1α)降解,从而在肿瘤治疗中导致化疗耐药性的逆转。这些由铜和2-丙基咪唑(Cu-PrIm)组成的纳米酶具有扭曲的Cu-N4催化活性中心,该中心模仿由铜和组氨酸残基组成的天然酶结构,赋予它们类似酶的活性。Cu-PrIm纳米酶的抗肿瘤功效在多种CRC体内模型中得到验证。特别是Cu-PrIm纳米酶在小鼠模型中表现出优异的生物相容性、生物降解性和可耐受的毒性特征,使其成为临床转化的有力候选者。综上所述,该研究通过靶向这些弱点并利用“三合一”Cu-PrIm纳米酶的潜力同时解决多种途径,在CRC治疗中引入了一种新的治疗模式。
