However, the therapeutic efficacy of CDT is restricted by insufficient H_(2)O_(2) levels in tumor cells. Herein, employing endogenous GSH as a template and cationic polymeric chitosan (CS) as crosslinker and stabilizer exhibiting easy cell uptake, red luminescent gold nanoclusters (denoted CS-GSH@AuNCs) were successfully synthesized in HeLa cells. The in situ synthesized CS-GSH@AuNCs exhibited both superoxidase dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD)-like activity, which could promote the production of H_(2)O_(2) from superoxide anion radicals (O_(2)^(·-)) and then ^(·)OH. The combination of GSH elimination and H_(2)O_(2) elevation boosted the generation of ^(·)OH, which could trigger cancer cell apoptosis and death. The enzyme-like activity of CS-GSH@AuNCs could be effectively activated under acidic conditions, and showed a high killing effect on tumor cells but minimal toxicity to normal cells. The developed GSH consumption and ^(·)OH promotion theranostic platform is an innovative route for enhanced CDT by the amplification of oxidative stress.展开更多

文摘Chemodynamic therapy(CDT)relying on the transformation of endogenous hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2))into cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals(·OH)based on the catalysis of Fenton/Fenton-type reactions exhibits great potentiality for cancer treatment.However,the inadequate H_(2)O_(2)supply and intricate redox homeostasis in tumor microenvironment(TME)severely impair the efficacy of CDT.Herein,we design selfassembled 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine conjugated polyethylene glycol(DSPE-PEG)-modified Fe(Ⅲ)-juglone nanoscale coordination polymers(FJP NCPs)as redox homeostasis disruptors for juglone-enhanced CDT.Responding to glutathione(GSH)-rich and acidic TME,the Fe^(2+)/Fe^(3+)-guided CDT and GSH consumption by Fe^(3+)are activated,resulting in·OH downstream and up-regulation of lipid peroxidation(LPO).In addition,the released juglone not only depletes GSH through Michael addition,but also elevates intracellular H_(2)O_(2)level for achieving·OH further bursting.With the impressive efficiency of GSH exhaustion and reactive oxygen species(ROS)storm generation,ferroptosis and apoptosis are significantly enhanced by FJP NCPs in vivo.In brief,this facile and efficient design for versatile nanoscale coordination polymers presents a novel paradigm for effectively elevating CDT efficiency and tumor synergistic therapy.

文摘Bacterial-based antitumor immunity has become a promising strategy to activate the immune system for fighting cancer.However,the potential application of bacterial therapy is hindered by the presence of instability and susceptibility to infections within bacterial populations.Furthermore,monotherapy is ineffective in completely eliminating complex cancer with multiple contributing factors.In this study,based on our discovery that spore shell(SS)of Bacillus coagulans exhibits excellent tumor-targeting ability and adjuvant activity,we develop a biomimetic spore nanoplatform to boost bacteria-mediated antitumor therapy,chemodynamic therapy and antitumor immunity for synergistic cancer treatment.In detail,SS is separated from probiotic spores and then attached to the surface of liposome(Lipo)that was loaded with hemoglobin(Hb),glucose oxidase(GOx)and JQ1to construct SS@Lipo/Hb/GOx/JQ1.In tumor tissue,highly toxic hydroxyl radicals(·OH)are generated via sequential catalytic reactions:GOx catalyzing glucose into H_(2)O_(2)and Fe^(2+)in Hb decomposing H_(2)O_(2)into·OH.The combination of·OH and SS adjuvant can improve tumor immunogenicity and activate immune system.Meanwhile,JQ1-mediated down-regulation of PD-L1 and Hb-induced hypoxia alleviation synergistically reshape immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and potentiate immune response.In this manner,SS@Lipo/Hb/GOx/JQ1 significantly suppresses tumor growth and metastasis.To summarize,the nanoplatform represents an optimum strategy to potentiate bacteria-based cancer immunotherapy.

文摘Photodynamic therapy(PDT)has significant advantages in treating primary tumors.However,the hypoxic tumor microenvironment hinders the generation of sufficient reactive oxygen species during PDT to effectively kill tumor cells,further greatly limiting the applications of PDT in cancer treatment.Herein,we reported a temperature/pH dual controlled drug delivery system LPC@PCN@PDA/Fe^(3+)-AS1411 based on a porous coordination network(PCN(Mn))coated with polydopamine(PDA)and modified with an aptamer AS1411.β-lapachone(LPC)was loaded inside the PCN(Mn)framework,and Fe^(3+)was attached to the surface of the PDA coating.These nanoparticles(NPs)exhibited excellent multimodal cancer therapeutic effects and tumor targeting ability with their photo-and chemodynamic properties.The therapeutic effect can be enhanced by the production of sufficient oxygen by the internal hydrogen peroxide,which improves the photodynamic effect of the photosensitizer PCN(Mn)and the chemotherapy effect ofβ-lapachone.Notably,the conversion of Fe^(2+)to Fe^(3+)in the tumor cells exerts the Fenton effect,which generates hydroxyl radicals that cause lipid peroxidation in tumor cells and induce apoptosis,thus enhancing the chemodynamic therapeutic effect.In vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that the NPs demonstrated specific tumor targeting,excellent inhibition effect on tumor growth,and biocompatibility.Together,our findings can help develop an intelligent multifunctional therapeutic nanoplatform for cancer therapy.

文摘It is desirable to develop a free radical generator that is neither dependent on hydrogen peroxide nor external stimuli-triggered to achieve effective tumor treatment.Herein,the free radical genera-tor MNPs-mCPBA was constructed with Zn_(0.4)Co_(0.6)F_(e2)O_(4)@Zn_(0.4)Mn_(0.6)Fe_(2)O_(4)nanoparticles(MNPs)and 3-chloroperbenzoic acid(mCPBA).We believe that the iron(Ⅱ)on the surface of MNPs-mCPBA maybe represent high reactive activity and promote the generation of a large number of organic free radicals(C_(6)H_(4)ClCOOO)in an acidic tumor microenvironment,which realizes the acid-dependent tumor treat-ment strategy independent on the H_(2)O_(2)level in tumors.In addition,the generated organic free radicals(C_(6)H_(4)ClCOOO)effectively induced immunogenic cell death(ICD)and increased T cell infiltration.Un-der the synergetic treatment with an anti-PD-L1 antibody(α-PD-L1),a favorable anti-tumor effect was achieved.

文摘In spite of the tumor microenvironments responsive cancer therapy based on Fenton reaction(i.e.,chemodynamic therapy,CDT)has been attracted more attentions in recent years,the limited Fenton reaction efficiency is the important obstacle to further application in clinic.Herein,we synthesized novel FeO/MoS2 nanocomposites modified by bovine serum albumin(FeO/MoS2-BSA)with boosted Fenton reaction efficiency by the synergistic effect of co-catalyze and photothermal effect of MoS2 nanosheets triggered by the second near-infrared(NIR II)light.In the tumor microenvironments,the MoS2 nanosheets not only can accelerate the conversion of Fe3+ions to Fe2+ions by Mo4+ions on their surface to improve Fenton reaction efficiency,but also endow FeO/MoS2-BSA with good photothermal performances for photothermal-enhanced CDT and photothermal therapy(PTT).Consequently,benefiting from the synergetic-enhanced CDT/PTT,the tumors are eradicated completely in vivo.This work provides innovative synergistic strategy for constructing nanocomposites for highly efficient CDT.

文摘Iron chalcogenides have attracted great interest as potential substitutes of nature enzymes in the colorimetric biological sensing due to their unique chemodynamic characteristics.Herein,we report the preparation of ultrathin Fe S nanosheets(NSs)by a simple one-pot hydrothermal method and the prepared Fe S NSs exhibit strong Fenton-reaction activity to catalyze hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2))for generation of hydroxyl radical(^(·)OH).Based on the chromogenic reaction of resultant^(·)OH with 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine(TMB),we develop colorimetric biosensors for highly sensitive detection of H_(2)O_(2)and glutathione(GSH).The fabricated biosensors show wide linear ranges for the detection of H_(2)O_(2)(5–150μmol/L)and GSH(5–50μmol/L).Their detection limits for H_(2)O_(2)and GSH reach as low as0.19μmol/L and 0.14μmol/L,respectively.The experimental results of sensing intracellular H_(2)O_(2)and GSH demonstrate that this colorimetric method can realize the accurate detection of H_(2)O_(2)and GSH in normal cells(L02 and 3T3)and cancer cells(MCF-7 and He La).Our results have demonstrated that the synthesized Fe S NSs is a promising material to construct colorimetric biosensors for the sensitive detection of H_(2)O_(2)and GSH,holding great promising for medical diagnosis in cancer therapy.

文摘Cu_(2-x)S nanostructures have been intensively studied as outstanding chemodynamic therapy(CDT)and good photothermal therapy(PTT)antibacterial agents due to their highly efficient Cu(Ⅰ)-initiated Fenton-like catalytic activity and good photothermal conversion property.However,they still suffer from shortage of Cu(Ⅰ)supply in the long-term and comparatively low inherent photothermal conversion efficiency.Herein,we constructed a self-enhanced synergistic PTT/CDT nanoplatform(Cu_(1.94)S@MPN)by coating Cu_(1.94)S nanoparticles with Fe(Ⅲ)/tannic acid based metal-polyphenol networks(MPN).Activated by the acidic bacterial infection microenvironment,Cu_(1.94)S@MPN could be decomposed to continuously release Cu(Ⅱ),Fe(Ⅲ)ions and tannic acid.As the result of tannic acid-involved Cu and Fe redox cycling,Cu(Ⅰ)/Fe(Ⅱ)-rich CDT could be achieved through the highly accelerated catalytic Fenton/Fenton-like reactions.More importantly,experimental results demonstrated that Cu_(1.94)S@MPN exhibited both excellent photothermal antibacterial and photothermal-enhanced CDT properties to eradicate bacteria in vitro and in vivo.Overall,this novel nanotherapeutics has great potential to become a clinic candidate for anti-infective therapy in future.

文摘Osteosarcoma(OS)is a malignant tumor with a high rate of recurrence.Recently,biodegradable Mg-based implants have become a new therapeutic platform for bone-related diseases.However,poor biosafety and deficient intelligent tumor-killing ability of Mg-based implants are still the main challenges for the pre-cise treatment of OS.Herein,based on the excellent catalytic and photothermal conversion properties of nanozyme ferric oxide(Fe_(3)O_(4)),a novel two-step hydrothermal method for in situ preparation of Fe_(3)O_(4)nanosheets on the surface of plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO)-treated Mg alloy using Mg-Fe layered double hydroxides(Mg-Fe LDH)as precursor was proposed.Compared with Mg alloy,there were no obvious corrosion cracks on the surface of Fe_(3)O_(4)nanosheets-coated Mg alloy(Fe_(3)O_(4)-NS)immersed in 0.9 wt.%NaCl for 14 days,which demonstrated the corrosion resistance of Mg alloy was significantly enhanced.Cytocompatibility experiments and hemolysis assay confirmed the great biocompatibility of Fe_(3)O_(4)-NS,especially,hemolysis ratio was lower than 1%.Meanwhile,Fe_(3)O_(4)-NS presented excellent cat-alytic oxidation capacity in the presence of H_(2)O_(2),and its temperature can significantly increase from 27℃to approximately 56℃under NIR irradiation.Therefore,intelligent responsive Fe_(3)O_(4)nanosheets-engineered Mg-based implants demonstrated excellent antitumor properties in vivo and in vitro due to their photothermal and chemodynamic synergetic effects.This study provides a novel approach for the preparation of Fe_(3)O_(4)coatings on the surface of Mg alloys and a new strategy for the treatment of OS.

文摘Cancer is a severe disease,which have troubled human being for a long time.The development of nanotechnology has provided a new way for cancer treatment.It is a promising strategy to integrate imaging and therapeutic functions into one single nanoplatform to achieve efficient combination of diagnosis and treatment.Herein,we exploited novel CuMo_(2)S_(3)-PEG-Gd nanocomposites(NCs)for magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),guiding the photothermal therapy(PTT)/photodynamic therapy(PDT)/chemodynamic therapy(CDT).The experimental results showed that CuMo_(2)S_(3)-PEG-Gd NCs have a high photothermal conversion efficiency(40.6%),excellent biocompatibility and good biosecurity.The CuMo_(2)S_(3)-PEGGd NCs exhibited a clear MRI performance for tumor due to connecting Gd,which can guide in vivo therapy to improve the therapeutic effect.Moreover,both in vitro and in vivo therapeutic results of CuMo_(2)S_(3)-PEG-Gd NCs exhibited that the PTT/PDT/CDT achieved a remarkably synergistic effect,which could efficiently inhibit the tumor growth.Thus,CuMo_(2)S_(3)-PEG-Gd NCs,which integrated imaging with multiple therapies,have a good potential as theranostic agent for tumor.

文摘Compared with traditional photodynamic therapy(PDT),ultrasound(US)triggered sonodynamic therapy(SDT)has a wide application prospect in tumor therapy because of its deeper penetration depth.Herein,a novel MnSiO_(3)-Pt(MP)nanocomposite composed of Mn Si O_(3)nanosphere and noble metallic Pt was successfully constructed.After modification with bovine serum albumin(BSA)and chlorine e6(Ce6),the multifunctional nanoplatform Mn SiO_(3)-Pt@BSA-Ce6(MPBC)realized the magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)-guided synergetic SDT/chemodynamic therapy(CDT).In this nanoplatform,sonosensitizer Ce6 can generate singlet oxygen(^(1)O_(2))to kill cancer cells under US irradiation.Meanwhile,the loaded Pt has the ability to catalyze the decomposition of overexpressed hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2))in tumor microenvironment(TME)to produce oxygen(O_(2)),which can conquer tumor hypoxia and promote the SDT-induced^(1)O_(2)production.In addition,MP can degrade in mildly acidic and reductive TME,causing the release of Mn^(2+).The released Mn^(2+) not only can be used for MRI,but also can generate hydroxyl radical(^·OH)for CDT by Fenton-like reaction.The multifunctional nanoplatform MPBC has high biological safety and good anticancer effect,which displays the great latent capacity in biological application.

文摘Chemodynamic therapy(CDT)is an emerging endogenous stimulation activated tumor treatment approach that exploiting iron-containing nanomedicine as catalyst to convert hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2))into toxic hydroxyl radical(·OH)through Fenton reaction.Due to the unique characteristics(weak acidity and the high H_(2)O_(2) level)of the tumor microenvironment,CDT has advantages of high selectivity and low side effect.However,as an important substrate of Fenton reaction,the endogenous H_(2)O_(2) in tumor is still insufficient,which may be an important factor limiting the efficacy of CDT.In order to optimize CDT,various H_(2)O_(2)-generating nanomedicines that can promote the production of H_(2)O_(2) in tumor have been designed and developed for enhanced CDT.In this review,we summarize recently developed nanomedicines based on catalytic enzymes,nanozymes,drugs,metal peroxides and bacteria.Finally,the challenges and possible development directions for further enhancing CDT are prospected.

文摘Due to the hypoxic state of the tumor microenvironment(TME),photodynamic therapy(PDT)suffers from insufficient ROS production.The metal-polyphenol network-mediated Fenton reaction can generate reac-tive oxygen species(ROS)by consuming H_(2)O_(2) in TME,improving the inadequate ROS generation problem of PDT.Therefore,synergistic therapy combining PDT and Fenton response-based CDT is a promising ap-proach for cancer treatment.Herein,a metal-polyphenol nanocomposite was deposited with gallic acid grafted hyaluronic acid and Fe^(3+) to contrast a Ce6 nano-delivery system(Ce6@HSF NPs)for melanoma synergistic therapy.Ce6@HSF NPs could be used as a Fenton reagent to induce the·OH production and enhance the PDT effect of Ce6 to a certain extent.After 4 h of cellular uptake,the fluorescence intensity of Ce6 in the Ce6@HSF NPs group was higher than 3 times that in the Ce6 group.The intracellular ROS generation level of the Ce6@HSF NPs(L)group combining CDT and PDT was higher than that of the Ce6 group and Ce6@HSF NPs group.In vitro and in vivo anti-melanoma studies show that Ce6@HSF NPs(L)group exhibited better anti-melanoma than other groups.Together,Ce6@HSF NPs provide a promising synergistic treatment potential for melanoma.

文摘Chemodynamic therapy(CDT)as an emerging modality in cancer treatment,its implementation remains a daunting challenge by the lack of smart Fenton catalyst under acidic tumor microenvironments.Herein,we have successfully constructed a Fe_(3)O_(4)@MIL-100 heterojunction by growing Fe-based metal-organic framework(MIL-100)onto the surface of Fe_(3)O_(4) nanoparticles.The as-made heterojunction after encapsu-lating glucose oxidase(termed FMG)is demonstrated as a pH-responsive intelligent Fenton nanosystem with the synergistic effect of starvation therapy(ST).Density functional theory(DFT)calculations reveal that such heterojunction could greatly reduce the energy barrier of the Fenton reaction,which better ex-plains the mechanism of Fenton performance improvement.Moreover,the encapsulated glucose oxidase has successfully activated the ST process,in which its generated H_(2)O_(2) and gluconic acid further improve the CDT efficiency.More O_(2) from the enhanced CDT in turn promotes the enzymatic reaction of glucose oxidase.The Fenton/cascade enzymatic reaction operates in a self-feedback manner as proposed.In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that such intelligent Fenton nanoreactors provide a powerful anti-cancer mechanism for effective tumor ablation with enough safety.This work provides insights into the developments of MOF-based heterojunctions as powerful anticancer treatment nanoreactors.

文摘Glioblastoma(GBM) remains a formidable challenge in oncology.Chemodynamic therapy(CDT) that triggers tumor cell death by reactive oxygen species(ROS) could open up a new door for GBM treatment.Herein,we report a novel CDT nanoagent.Hemoglobin(Hb)and glucose oxidase(GOx) were employed as powerful CDT catalysts.Instead of encapsulating the proteins in drug delivery nanocarriers,we formulate multimeric superstructures as self-delivery entities by crosslinking techniques.Red blood cell(RBC) membranes are camouflaged on the protein superstructures to promote the delivery across blood-brain barrier.The as-prepared RBC@Hb@GOx nanoparticles(NPs) offer superior biocompatibility,simplified structure,and high accumulation at the tumor site.We successfully demonstrated that the NPs could efficiently produce toxic ROS to kill U87 MG cancer cells in vitro and inhibit the growth of GBM tumor in vivo,suggesting that the new CDT nanoagent holds great promise for treating GBM.

文摘Catalysis-based chemodynamic therapy(CDT)is an emerging cancer treatment strategy which uses a Fenton-like reaction to kill tumor cells by catalyzing endogenous hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2))into a toxic hydroxyl radical(·OH).The performance of CDT is greatly dependent on PDT agent.Herein,mitochondria-targeting Pt nanoclusters were synthesized using cytochrome c aptamer(CytcApt)as template.The obtained CytcApt-PtNCs can produce.OH by H_(2)O_(2)under the acidic conditions.Moreover,CytcApt-PtNCs could kill 4T1 tumor cells in a pH-dependent manner,but had no side effect on normal 293T cells.Therefore,CytcApt-PtNCs possess excellent therapeutic effect and good biosafety,indicating their great potential for CDT.

文摘Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has attracted tremendous interest in cancer therapy because it is independent of oxygen and photoirradiation. However, the therapeutic efficacy of CDT is restricted by insufficient H_(2)O_(2) levels in tumor cells. Herein, employing endogenous GSH as a template and cationic polymeric chitosan (CS) as crosslinker and stabilizer exhibiting easy cell uptake, red luminescent gold nanoclusters (denoted CS-GSH@AuNCs) were successfully synthesized in HeLa cells. The in situ synthesized CS-GSH@AuNCs exhibited both superoxidase dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD)-like activity, which could promote the production of H_(2)O_(2) from superoxide anion radicals (O_(2)^(·-)) and then ^(·)OH. The combination of GSH elimination and H_(2)O_(2) elevation boosted the generation of ^(·)OH, which could trigger cancer cell apoptosis and death. The enzyme-like activity of CS-GSH@AuNCs could be effectively activated under acidic conditions, and showed a high killing effect on tumor cells but minimal toxicity to normal cells. The developed GSH consumption and ^(·)OH promotion theranostic platform is an innovative route for enhanced CDT by the amplification of oxidative stress.
