The tumor microenvironment (TME) is characterized by a complex array of factors, including aerobic conditions, high glutathione (GSH) levels, acidic pH, and elevated hydrogen peroxide (HO) content, all of which promote cancer progression and contribute to poor prognosis. Fortunately, these challenges can be addressed using MnO-based nanomaterials. In this study, we have designed and synthesized a Curcumin/MnO@PLGA@4T1 cell membrane (CMP@4T1m) system aimed at remodelling the TME and enhancing sonodynamic immunotherapy for breast cancer. Through the homologous targeting ability of 4T1m, CMP@4T1m efficiently accumulates at the tumor site. Upon ultrasound irradiation, curcumin (Cur) acts as a sonosensitizer, generating cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) that induce immunogenic cell death (ICD), activate T-cell responses, and repolarize protumoral M2-like macrophages to antitumoral M1-like macrophages. In the TME, which is mildly acidic and enriched with GSH and HO, MnO not only oxidizes GSH to glutathione disulfide (GSSG) but also reacts with HO and H to produce oxygen, alleviating hypoxia and significantly enhancing the sonodynamic immunotherapy effect. Additionally, Mn generated during this process converts HO into cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (˙OH). This study thus lays the foundation for advancing cancer nanomedicine, offering a novel approach that integrates TME remodelling with sonodynamic immunotherapy.
肿瘤微环境(TME)的特征是由一系列复杂因素构成,包括有氧条件、高谷胱甘肽(GSH)水平、酸性pH值以及升高的过氧化氢(HO)含量,所有这些因素都会促进癌症进展并导致预后不良。幸运的是,使用基于MnO的纳米材料可以应对这些挑战。在本研究中,我们设计并合成了一种姜黄素/MnO@聚乳酸-羟基乙酸共聚物@4T1细胞膜(CMP@4T1m)系统,旨在重塑肿瘤微环境并增强乳腺癌的声动力免疫治疗。通过4T1m的同源靶向能力,CMP@4T1m有效地在肿瘤部位积累。在超声照射下,姜黄素(Cur)作为声敏剂,产生活性氧(ROS),诱导免疫原性细胞死亡(ICD),激活T细胞反应,并将促肿瘤的M2样巨噬细胞重极化至抗肿瘤的M1样巨噬细胞。在轻度酸性且富含GSH和HO的肿瘤微环境中,MnO不仅将GSH氧化为谷胱甘肽二硫化物(GSSG),还与HO和H反应产生氧气,缓解缺氧并显著增强声动力免疫治疗效果。此外,在此过程中产生的Mn将HO转化为具有细胞毒性的羟基自由基(˙OH)。因此,本研究为推进癌症纳米医学奠定了基础,提供了一种将肿瘤微环境重塑与声动力免疫治疗相结合的新方法。
