Nanocatalysts with extraordinary activity have attracted extensive research interest and great potential in tumor therapy. However, the widely explored Cu-based copper sulfide-enabled cancer therapy suffers from limited catalytic efficiency. This is primarily attributed to the susceptibility of single-phase nanocrystalline catalysts to complexation within the homogeneous catalyst and the complex tumor microenvironment (TME). Developing nanocatalysts with a broad energy band and high oxidative as well as reductive capacities remains a significant challenge. Herein, we first constructed a heterojunction (HJ)-based nanophotocatalytic platform, denoted as CuS-InS@GO@PEG, CIGP, wherein glucose oxidase (GOx) and poly(ethylene glycol) were modified on the CuS-InS HJs. The developed CIGP showed excellent phototriggered reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation ability via reaction with O and HO, owing to the CuS-InS HJs, in which the spatial separation dynamics of photogenerated electrons-holes was improved. In addition, the modified GOx of CIGP can catalyze the conversion of glucose into hydrogen peroxide (HO) and gluconic acid, thereby regulating the pH of the TME and altering the redox dynamic balance to favor ROS accumulation. Under irradiation, CIGP inhibited the growth of tumor cells by spatiotemporal controllable photothermal therapy. Taken together, CIGP provided an innovative paradigm for remodeling the acidity of the TME and synergistically enhancing the antitumor response.
具有非凡活性的纳米催化剂在肿瘤治疗中引起了广泛的研究兴趣和巨大潜力。然而,广泛探索的基于铜的硫化铜癌症治疗方法催化效率有限。这主要归因于单相纳米晶催化剂在均相催化剂和复杂的肿瘤微环境(TME)中易发生络合。开发具有宽带隙以及高氧化和还原能力的纳米催化剂仍然是一项重大挑战。在此,我们首先构建了一个基于异质结(HJ)的纳米光催化平台,记为CuS-InS@GO@PEG,即CIGP,其中葡萄糖氧化酶(GOx)和聚乙二醇在CuS-InS异质结上进行了修饰。由于CuS-InS异质结改善了光生电子-空穴的空间分离动力学,所开发的CIGP通过与O和HO反应显示出优异的光触发活性氧(ROS)生成能力。此外,CIGP修饰的GOx可以催化葡萄糖转化为过氧化氢(HO)和葡萄糖酸,从而调节TME的pH值并改变氧化还原动态平衡以促进ROS积累。在光照下,CIGP通过时空可控的光热疗法抑制肿瘤细胞的生长。综上所述,CIGP为重塑TME的酸度和协同增强抗肿瘤反应提供了一种创新范例。
