Synergistically enhanced multienzyme catalytic nanoconjugates for efficient cancer therapy

J Mater Chem B. 2021 Jul 28;9(29):5877-5886. doi: 10.1039/d1tb00821h.

Abstract

Tumors are complex and highly variable, making it difficult for a single treatment strategy to be significantly effective for cancer therapy. Herein, we report a robust cascade biomimetic nanoplatform that integrates chemiluminescence-induced photodynamic therapy (CL-PDT), Fenton reaction-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and glucose oxidase (GOD)-mediated starvation therapy to synergistically enhance cancer treatment. For the nanoplatform of CPPO@porphyrin-MOF@Cancer cell membrane-GOD (C1@M@C2G), the ferric ion-linked porphyrin-MOF can trigger a Fenton reaction to reach CDT, the carried CPPO as an energy donor is used to excite a photo-sensitive porphyrin-MOF in situ to generate singlet oxygen (1O2) for PDT, GOD catalyzes glucose into H2O2 and gluconic acid to realize starvation therapy, and the cancer cell membrane wrapped onto the nanoparticle plays a key role in homologous targeting, which is conducive to achieving better therapeutic effects. Significantly, the porphyrin-MOF with catalase-like activity can generate O2 to effectively relieve tumor hypoxia, thereby enhancing the catalytic effect of GOD and the efficacy of PDT. Additionally, the produced H2O2 and gluconic acid can further improve the CPPO-H2O2-triggered CL-PDT and promote the low pH-dependence Fenton reaction-based CDT, respectively. Both in vitro and in vivo studies showed that the constructed nanoplatform displays an excellent cooperative anti-tumor performance, so we firmly believe that this simple nanoplatform broadens the pathway to fight against cancer through effective cascade catalysis.
