Abstract
Nanozymes can regulate metabolism to achieve precise anti-tumor therapy. However, the application of nanozymes with single catalytic properties is limited by complex tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, we report a rarely discovered nanozyme ruthenium (Ru), which has double catalytic activity of glucose-oxidase-like (GOx-like) activity and peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity. Importantly, the GOx-like activity of Ru was proposed for the first time, which can catalyze glucose and O2 to product H2O2. And then, Ru nanozyme can connect the tandem catalysis to enhance various tumor therapy. Firstly, the atovaquone (ATO) and Ru NPs were covered with a hybrid membrane of tumor cells and liposomes to obtain Ru@ATO-Lip/M with homologous targeting. Due to the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect and the tumor targeting, the Ru@ATO-Lip/M NPs could be efficiently delivered to tumor and taken up by tumor cells. Subsequently, the acidic environment of tumor activated Ru to catalyze H2O2 producing OH (Fenton-like reaction). Meanwhile, newly discovered ability of Ru catalyzed glucose and O2 to produce gluconic acid and H2O2, which provided sufficient substrates (H2O2) for continuously generating more OH. Therefore, Ru nanozyme aggravated the starvation and chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Further, ATO improved the hypoxia of the tumor microenvironment, achieving steadily synergistic anti-tumor effect. This study verified the glucose oxidase-like properties of Ru NPs for the first time, and the strategy enhanced the synergistic anti-tumor effects by CDT and starvation therapy, which provided a basis for further exploration of Ru nanozyme activity and application on antitumor.
