Cyclic catalysis of intratumor Fe 3+/2+ initiated by a hollow mesoporous iron sesquioxide nanoparticle for ferroptosis therapy of large tumors. Biomaterials 2025; 313:122793. [PMID: 39226655 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122793] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2024] [Revised: 07/30/2024] [Accepted: 08/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/05/2024]
Abstract
Numerous nanoparticles have been utilized to deliver Fe2+ for tumor ferroptosis therapy, which can be readily converted to Fe3+via Fenton reactions to generate hydroxyl radical (•OH). However, the ferroptosis therapeutic efficacy of large tumors is limited due to the slow conversion of Fe3+ to Fe2+via Fenton reactions. Herein, a strategy of intratumor Fe3+/2+ cyclic catalysis is proposed for ferroptosis therapy of large tumors, which was realized based on our newly developed hollow mesoporous iron sesquioxide nanoparticle (HMISN). Cisplatin (CDDP) and Gd-poly(acrylic acid) macrochelates (GP) were loaded into the hollow core of HMISN, whose surface was modified by laccase (LAC). Fe3+, CDDP, GP, and LAC can be gradually released from CDDP@GP@HMISN@LAC in the acidic tumor microenvironment. The intratumor O2 can be catalyzed into superoxide anion (O2•-) by LAC, and the intratumor NADPH oxidases can be activated by CDDP to generate O2•-. The O2•- can react with Fe3+ to generate Fe2+, and raise H2O2 level via the superoxide dismutase. The generated Fe2+ and H2O2 can be fast converted into Fe3+ and •OH via Fenton reactions. The cyclic catalysis of intratumor Fe3+/2+ initiated by CDDP@GP@HMISN@LAC can be used for ferroptosis therapy of large tumors.

Abstract
Melanoma, known for its aggressive metastatic nature, presents a formidable challenge in cancer treatment, where conventional therapies often fall short. This study introduces a pioneering approach utilizing metal-free nanosystem as tumor vaccines, spotlighting their potential in revolutionizing melanoma treatment. This work employed organic nitroxides, specifically 4-carboxy-TEMPO, in combination with chitosan (CS), to create a novel nanocomposite material - the CS-TEMPO-OVA nanovaccines. This composition not only improves biocompatibility and extends blood circulation time of TEMPO but also marks a significant departure from traditional gadolinium-based contrast agents in MRI technology, addressing safety concerns. CS-TEMPO-OVA nanovaccines demonstrate excellent biocompatibility at both the cellular and organoid level. They effectively stimulate bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs), which in turn promote the maturation and activation of T cells. This ultimately leads to a strong production of essential cytokines. These nanovaccines serve a dual purpose as both therapeutic and preventive. By inducing an immune response, activating cytotoxic T cells, and promoting macrophage M1 polarization, they effectively inhibit melanoma growth and enhance survival in mouse models. When combined with αPD-1, the CS-TEMPO-OVA nanovaccines significantly bolster the infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) within tumors, sparking a powerful systemic antitumor response that effectively curbs tumor metastasis. The ability of these nanovaccines to control both primary (subcutaneous) and metastatic B16-OVA tumors highlights their remarkable efficacy. Furthermore, the CS-TEMPO-OVA nanovaccine can be administered in vivo via both intravenous and intramuscular routes, both of which effectively enhance the T1 contrast of magnetic resonance imaging in tumor tissue. This study offers invaluable insights into the integrated application of these nanovaccines in both clinical diagnostics and treatment, marking a significant stride in cancer research and patient care.

[PMID: 39004329 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.07.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024]
Abstract
Calcium ions (Ca2+) participate in the regulation of cellular apoptosis as a second messenger. Calcium overload, which refers to the abnormal elevation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration, is a factor that can lead to cell death. Here, based on the unique biological effects of Ca2+, hollow mesoporous calcium peroxide nanoparticles (HMCPN) were developed by a facile hydrolysis-precipitation method for drug-free tumor calcicoptosis therapy. The average pore size of the optimized HMCPN17 is 6.4 nm, and the surface area is 81.3 m2/g, which enables HMCPN17 with high drug loading capability. The Ca2+ release from HMCPN17 is much faster at pH 6.8 than that at pH 7.4, which can be ascribed to the acid-triggered conversion of HMCPN17 to Ca2+ and H2O2, indicating a pH-responsive decomposition behavior of HMCPN17. The high drug loading contents of doxorubicin (DOX) and/or sorafenib (SFN) indicate that HMCPN17 can be employed as a generic drug delivery system (DDS). The in vitro and in vivo results reinforce the high calcicoptosis therapeutic efficacy of tumors by our HMCPN17 without drug loading, which can be attributed to the efficient accumulation in tumors and the ability of H2O2 and Ca2+ production at acidic TME. Our HMCPN17 has broad application prospect for construction of multi-drug-loaded composite nanomaterials with diversified functions for the treatment of tumors. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The combination of hollow mesoporous nanomaterials and calcium peroxide nanoparticles has a wide range of applications in the synergistic treatment of tumors. In this study, hollow mesoporous calcium peroxide nanoparticles (HMCPN) were developed based on a simple hydrolysis-precipitation method for tumor calcicoptosis therapy without drug loading. The high drug loading contents of DOX and/or SFN indicate that our HMCPN can serve as a generic DDS. The experimental results demonstrated the high calcicoptosis therapeutic efficacy of HMCPN on tumors even without drug loading.

Abstract
Detecting harmful pathogens in food is not only a crucial aspect of food quality management but also an effective way to ensure public health. In this paper, a complete nuclear magnetic resonance biosensor based on a novel gadolinium (Gd)-targeting molecular probe was developed for the detection of Salmonella in milk. First, streptavidin was conjugated to the activated macromolecular polyaspartic acid (PASP) via an amide reaction to generate SA-PASP. Subsequently, the strong chelating and adsorption properties of PASP toward the lanthanide metal gadolinium ions were exploited to generate the magnetic complex (SA-PASP-Gd). Finally, the magnetic complex was linked to biotinylated antibodies to obtain the bioprobe and achieve the capture of Salmonella. Under optimal experimental conditions, the sensor we have constructed can achieve a rapid detection of Salmonella within 1.5 h, with a detection limit of 7.1 × 103 cfu mL-1.

Abstract
The dense extracellular matrix (ECM) in solid tumors, contributed by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), hinders penetration of drugs and diminishes their therapeutic outcomes. A sequential treatment strategy of remodeling the ECM via a CAF modifier (dasatinib, DAS) is proposed to promote penetration of an immunogenic cell death (ICD) inducer (epirubicin, Epi) via apoptotic vesicles, ultimately enhancing the treatment efficacy against breast cancer. Dendritic poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (POEGMA)-based nanomedicines (poly[OEGMA-Dendron(G2)-Gly-Phe-Leu-Gly-DAS] (P-DAS) and poly[OEGMA-Dendron(G2)-hydrazone-Epi] (P-Epi)) are developed for sequential delivery of DAS and Epi, respectively. P-DAS reprograms CAFs to reduce collagen by downregulating collagen anabolism and energy metabolism, thereby reducing the ECM deposition. The regulated ECM can enhance tumor penetration of P-Epi to strengthen its ICD effect, leading to an amplified antitumor immune response. In breast cancer-bearing mice, this approach alleviates the ECM barrier, resulting in reduced tumor burden and increased cytotoxic T lymphocyte infiltration, and more encouragingly, synergizes effectively with anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) therapy, significantly inhibiting tumor growth and preventing lung metastasis. Furthermore, systemic toxicity is barely detectable after sequential treatment with P-DAS and P-Epi. This approach opens a new avenue for treating desmoplastic tumors by metabolically targeting CAFs to overcome the ECM barrier.

Abstract
Traditional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) are a type of "always on" system that accelerates proton relaxation regardless of their enrichment region. This "always on" feature leads to a decrease in signal differences between lesions and normal tissues, hampering their applications in accurate and early diagnosis. Herein, we report a strategy to fabricate glutathione (GSH)-responsive one-dimensional (1-D) manganese oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) with improved T2 relaxivities and achieve effective T2/T1 switchable MRI imaging of tumors. Compared to traditional contrast agents with high saturation magnetization to enhance T2 relaxivities, 1-D MONPs with weak Ms effectively increase the inhomogeneity of the local magnetic field and exhibit obvious T2 contrast. The inhomogeneity of the local magnetic field of 1-D MONPs is highly dependent on their number of primary particles and surface roughness according to Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert simulations and thus eventually determines their T2 relaxivities. Furthermore, the GSH responsiveness ensures 1-D MONPs with sensitive switching from the T2 to T1 mode in vitro and subcutaneous tumors to clearly delineate the boundary of glioma and metastasis margins, achieving precise histopathological-level MRI. This study provides a strategy to improve T2 relaxivity of magnetic nanoparticles and construct switchable MRI CAs, offering high tumor-to-normal tissue contrast signal for early and accurate diagnosis.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is instrumental in the noninvasive evaluation of tumor tissues in patients subjected to chemotherapy, thereby yielding essential diagnostic data crucial for the prognosis of tumors and the formulation of therapeutic strategies. Currently, commercially available MRI contrast agents (CAs) predominantly consist of mononuclear gadolinium(III) complexes. Because there is only one Gd(III) atom per molecule, these CAs often require administration in high doses to achieve the desired contrast quality, which inevitably leads to some adverse events. Herein, we develop a six-nuclei, apoptosis-targeting T1 CA, Gd6-ZnDPA nanoprobe, which consists of a hexanuclear gadolinium nanocluster (Gd6) with an apoptosis-targeting group (ZnDPA). The amplification of Gd(III) by the hexanuclear structure generates its high longitudinal relaxivity (44.67 mM-1 s-1, 1T) and low r1/r2 ratio (0.68, 1T). Based on the Solomon-Bloembergen-Morgan (SBM) theory, this notable improvement is primarily ascribed to a long correlation tumbling time (τR). More importantly, the Gd6-ZnDPA nanoprobe shows excellent tumor apoptosis properties with an enhanced MR signal ratio (∼74%) and a long MRI imaging acquisition time window (∼48 h) in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice. This study introduces an experimental gadolinium-based CA for the potential imaging of tumor apoptosis in the context of MRI.

Abstract
To overcome the problems of commercial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) (i.e., small molecule Gd chelates), we have proposed a new concept of Gd macrochelates based on the coordination of Gd3+ and macromolecules, e.g., poly(acrylic acid) (PAA). To further decrease the r2/r1 ratio of the reported Gd macrochelates that is an important factor for T1 imaging, in this study, a superior macromolecule hydrolyzed polymaleic anhydride (HPMA) was found to coordinate Gd3+. The synthesis conditions were optimized and the generated Gd-HPMA macrochelate was systematically characterized. The obtained Gd-HPMA29 synthesized in a 100 L of reactor has a r1 value of 16.35 mM-1 s-1 and r2/r1 ratio of 2.05 at 7.0 T, a high Gd yield of 92.7% and a high product weight (1074 g), which demonstrates the feasibility of kilogram scale facile synthesis. After optimization of excipients and sterilization at a high temperature, the obtained Gd-HPMA30 formulation has a pH value of 7.97, osmolality of 691 mOsmol/kg water, density of 1.145 g/mL, and viscosity of 2.2 cP at 20 ℃ or 1.8 cP at 37 ℃, which meet all specifications and physicochemical criteria for clinical injections indicating the immense potential for clinical applications.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents are frequently used in clinics to enhance the contrast between diseased and normal tissues. The previously reported poly(acrylic acid) stabilized exceedingly small gadolinium oxide nanoparticles (ES-GdON-PAA) overcame the problems of commercial Gd chelates, but limitations still exist, i.e., high r2/r1 ratio, long blood circulation half-life, and no data for large scale synthesis and formulation optimization. In this study, polymaleic acid (PMA) is found to be an ideal stabilizer to synthesize ES-GdONs. Compared with ES-GdON-PAA, the PMA-stabilized ES-GdON (ES-GdON-PMA) has a lower r2/r1 ratio (2.05, 7.0 T) and a lower blood circulation half-life (37.51 min). The optimized ES-GdON-PMA-9 has an exceedingly small particle size (2.1 nm), excellent water dispersibility, and stability. A facile, efficient, and environmental friendly synthetic method is developed for large-scale synthesis of the ES-GdONs-PMA. The weight of the optimized freeze-dried ES-GdON-PMA-26 synthesized in a 20 L of reactor reaches the kilogram level. The formulation optimization is also finished, and the concentrated ES-GdON-PMA-26 formulation (CGd = 100 mm) after high-pressure steam sterilization possesses eligible physicochemical properties (i.e., pH value, osmolality, viscosity, and density) for investigational new drug application.

Abstract
Modulating macrophages presents a promising avenue in tumor immunotherapy. However, tumor cells have evolved mechanisms to evade macrophage activation and phagocytosis. Herein, we introduced a bispecific antibody-based nanoengager to facilitate the recognition and phagocytosis of tumor cells by macrophages. Specifically, we genetically engineered two single chain variable fragments (scFv) onto cell membrane: anti-CD40 scFv for engaging with macrophages and anti-Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2) scFv for interacting with tumor cells. These nanoengagers were further constructed by coating scFv-anchored membrane into PLGA nanoparticle core. Our developed nanoengagers significantly boosted immune responses, including increased recognition and phagocytosis of tumor cells by macrophages, enhanced activation and antigen presentation, and elevated cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity. These combined benefits resulted in enhancing antitumor efficacy against highly aggressive "cold" pancreatic cancer. Overall, this study offers a versatile nanoengager design for immunotherapy, achieved through genetically engineering to incorporate antibody-anchored membrane.

Abstract
Despite its effectiveness in eliminating cancer cells, ferroptosis is hindered by the high natural antioxidant glutathione (GSH) levels in the tumor microenvironment. Herein, we developed a spatially asymmetric nanoparticle, Fe3O4@DMS&PDA@MnO2-SRF, for enhanced ferroptosis. It consists of two subunits: Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated with dendritic mesoporous silica (DMS) and PDA@MnO2 (PDA: polydopamine) loaded with sorafenib (SRF). The spatial isolation of the Fe3O4@DMS and PDA@MnO2-SRF subunits enhances the synergistic effect between the GSH-scavengers and ferroptosis-related components. First, the increased exposure of the Fe3O4 subunit enhances the Fenton reaction, leading to increased production of reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, the PDA@MnO2-SRF subunit effectively depletes GSH, thereby inducing ferroptosis by the inactivation of glutathione-dependent peroxidases 4. Moreover, the SRF blocks Xc- transport in tumor cells, augmenting GSH depletion capabilities. The dual GSH depletion of the Fe3O4@DMS&PDA@MnO2-SRF significantly weakens the antioxidative system, boosting the chemodynamic performance and leading to increased ferroptosis of tumor cells.

Abstract
Ferroptosis has attracted much attention for tumor treatment. It has been recently identified that castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is vulnerable to ferroptosis inducers. Notably, chemodynamic therapy (CDT), triggered by metal ions, could easily induce ferroptosis via a Fenton/Fenton-like reaction, but its efficiency was highly dependent on the intracellular H2O2 concentration, posing significant changes for its clinical translation. Herein, we attached glucose oxidase (GOx) onto the surface of manganese sulfide (MnS) and developed therapeutic nanocomposites (Lpo@MnS-GOx) after encapsulating with liposome. Upon internalization by cancer cells, the released GOx could transform glucose into gluconic acid (GA) and H2O2. Notably, the generated GA stimulates the degradation of MnS, followed by the promotion of the release of H2S and Mn2+, whereas the produced H2O2 can amplify the Fenton-like response initiated by Mn2+. The enhanced CDT combined with the gas therapy effect could simultaneously promote the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and finally induce ferroptosis and exhibit an excellent anti-tumor effect. Consequently, these Lpo@MnS-GOx NPs with enhanced ferroptosis-induced effect will find great potential for CRPC cancer treatment.

Abstract
Using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent, MRI has made substantial contributions to glioma diagnosis. Metal-free MRI agents, such as the nano free radical nitric oxide (NO·) micelle, can overcome the inherent toxicity of metal-based agents in certain patient populations. However, the low spatial resolution of nano NO· micelle in MRI limits its clinical development. In this study, we pretreated platelets (PLTs) and loaded them with nano NO· micelles to synthesize NO·@PLT, which can overcome the low contrast and poor in vivo stability of nitroxide-based MRI contrast agents. The PLTs can serve as potential drug carriers for targeting and delivering nano NO· micelles to gliomas and thus increase the contrast in T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) of MRI. This drug carrier system uses the unique tumor-targeting ability of PLTs and takes advantage of the high signal presentation of steady nano NO· micelles in T1WI, thereby ultimately achieving signal amplification of glioma in T1WI. With the effect of PLTs-tumor cell adhesion, NO·@PLT has per-nitroxide transverse relativities of approximately 2-fold greater than those of free NO· particles. These features allow a sufficient NO·@PLT concentration to accumulate in murine subcutaneous glioma tumors up from 5 min to 2.5 h (optimum at 1.5 h) after systemic administration. This results in MRI contrast comparable to that of metal-based agents. This study established a promising metal-free MRI contrast agent, NO·@PLT, for glioma diagnosis, because it has superior spatial resolution owing to its high glioma-targeting ability and has significant translational implications in the clinic.

Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are found in many solid tumors, which play decisive roles in the occurrence, recurrence and metastasis of tumors. However, drugs are difficult to kill CSCs due to their limited number and location in oxygen-deprived tissue far from the blood vessels. Meanwhile, the survival and stemness maintenance of CSCs strongly depend on the tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, we developed a CD44 antibody modified iridium nanosheet with enzyme-like activity (defined as Ir Nts-Ab) that effectively eradicates CSCs for cancer therapy. We observe that Ir Nts-Ab can enrich tumor tissues to remove excessive reactive oxygen species and produce oxygen, thus alleviating hypoxia and the inflammatory TME to reduce the proportion of CSCs and inhibit metastasis. In addition, Ir Nts-Ab targets CSCs and normal cancer cells with near infrared II-region photothermal therapy (NIR-II PTT), and is easily taken up by CSCs due to recognition of the CD44 proteins. Moreover, photoacoustic imaging helps monitor drug accumulation and hypoxic TME improvement in tumor tissue. Importantly, Ir Nts-Ab has good biological safety, making it suitable for biomedical applications. This iridium nanozyme based on TME regulation as well as NIR-II PTT will be a promising strategy for the treatment of cancer. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are key factors that make tumors difficult to eradicate, and strongly depend on the hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME), which plays a crucial role in the occurrence and metastasis of tumors. Herein, an antibody modified iridium nanosheet (definition as Ir Nts-Ab) was developed for targeted eradication of CSCs by photoacoustic imaging guided photothermal therapy (PTT) and TME regulation. Ir Nts-Ab with catalase-like activity could inhibit HIF-1α by producing oxygen, thus effectively reducing the proportion of CSCs and inhibiting tumor metastasis. Additionally, Ir Nts-Ab achieved the eradication of CSCs by PTT, and eliminated reactive oxygen species to decrease the inflammatory response, resulting in reduced tumor metastasis, which was promising for the cure of solid tumors in the clinics.

Abstract
To improve the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) efficiency and ferroptosis therapy efficacy of exceedingly small magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IO, <5 nm) for tumors via enhancing the sensitivity of tumor microenvironment (TME) responsiveness, inspired by molecular logic gates, a self-assembled IO with an AND logic gate function is designed and constructed. Typically, cystamine (CA) is conjugated onto the end of poly(2-methylthio-ethanol methacrylate) (PMEMA) to generate PMEMA-CA. The PMEMA-CA is grafted onto the surface of brequinar (BQR)-loaded IO to form IO-BQR@PMEMA. The self-assembled IO-BQR@PMEMA (SA-IO-BQR@PMEMA) is obtained due to the hydrophobicity of PMEMA. The carbon-sulfur single bond of PMEMA-CA can be oxidized by reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the TME to a thio-oxygen double bond, resulting in the conversion from being hydrophobic to hydrophilic. The disulfide bond of PMEMA-CA can be broken by the glutathione (GSH) in the TME, leading to the shedding of PMEMA from the IO surface. Under the dual actions of ROS and GSH in TME (i.e., AND logic gate), SA-IO-BQR@PMEMA can be disassembled to release IO, Fe2+/3+ , and BQR. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrate the AND logic gate function and mechanism, the high T1 MRI performance and exceptional ferroptosis therapy efficacy for tumors, and the excellent biosafety of SA-IO-BQR@PMEMA.

Abstract
Patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) have dismal prognoses due to the lack of therapeutic targets and susceptibility to lymph node (LN) metastasis. Therefore, it is essential to develop more effective approaches to identify early TNBC tissues and LNs. In this work, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent (Mn-iCOF) was constructed based on the Mn(II)-chelated ionic covalent organic framework (iCOF). Because of the porous structure and hydrophilicity, the Mn-iCOF has a high longitudinal relaxivity (r1) of 8.02 mM-1 s-1 at 3.0 T. For the tumor-bearing mice, a lower dose (0.02 mmol [Mn]/kg) of Mn-iCOF demonstrated a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) value (1.8) and longer retention time (2 h) compared to a 10-fold dose of commercial Gd-DOTA (0.2 mmol [Gd]/kg). Moreover, the Mn-iCOF can provide continuous and significant MR contrast for the popliteal LNs within 24 h, allowing for accurate evaluation and dissection of LNs. These excellent MRI properties of the Mn-iCOF may open new avenues for designing more biocompatible MRI contrast agents with higher resolutions, particularly in the diagnosis of TNBC.
