Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has become a major challenge in clinical treatment due to its highly aggressive nature and limited therapeutic options. A carbon nanoparticles-Fe(ii) complex (CNSI-Fe), as both a ferroptosis inducer and photothermal agent (PTA), could exert anticancer effects through the ferroptosis pathway and photothermal action. Herein, we evaluated the photothermal therapeutic effects of CNSI-Fe in mice bearing the model tumor of TNBC (4T1 tumor). The therapeutic effects of CNSI-Fe were compared without/with near-infrared (NIR) irradiation both and . The therapeutic mechanisms and biosafety were also investigated. CNSI-Fe exhibits excellent photothermal conversion efficiency. CNSI-Fe had significant cytotoxicity against TNBC cells, and photothermal therapy (PTT) further enhanced its antitumor effects. The combination of CNSI-Fe and PTT treatments exhibited a more pronounced tumor-suppressive effect and longer survival time comparing to single modality treatment. Mechanistic studies indicated that PTT facilitated the entry of iron ions from CNSI-Fe into cancer cells, generating more hydroxyl radicals and significantly enhancing the ferroptosis. The haematological and serum biological parameters associated with the histopathological observations indicated that the side-effects of CNSI-Fe were low during PTT. Overall, we evidenced the synergistic effect of CNSI-Fe chemotherapy and PTT for TNBC treatment with low toxicity.
三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)因其高度侵袭性和有限的治疗选择,已成为临床治疗中的一大挑战。碳纳米颗粒 - 铁(II)配合物(CNSI - Fe)作为一种铁死亡诱导剂和光热剂(PTA),可通过铁死亡途径和光热作用发挥抗癌作用。在此,我们评估了CNSI - Fe对携带TNBC模型肿瘤(4T1肿瘤)小鼠的光热治疗效果。比较了有无近红外(NIR)照射时CNSI - Fe的治疗效果。同时还研究了其治疗机制和生物安全性。CNSI - Fe表现出优异的光热转换效率。CNSI - Fe对TNBC细胞具有显著的细胞毒性,光热疗法(PTT)进一步增强了其抗肿瘤作用。与单一治疗方式相比,CNSI - Fe与PTT联合治疗表现出更显著的肿瘤抑制作用和更长的生存时间。机制研究表明,PTT促进了CNSI - Fe中的铁离子进入癌细胞,产生更多羟基自由基并显著增强铁死亡。与组织病理学观察相关的血液学和血清生物学参数表明,PTT期间CNSI - Fe的副作用较低。总体而言,我们证明了CNSI - Fe化疗与PTT联合治疗TNBC具有低毒性的协同效应。
