Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedical technologies, and particularly relates to a biomimetic non-ferrous-based nanozyme and its application. Background Art
[0002] Radiation therapy is one of the standard options for cancer treatment such as breast cancer. With the progress of radiation therapy technology, precise dose delivery to the tumor site has become possible, while reducing systemic toxicity. Radiation therapy achieves tumor cell death by directly damaging biomolecules (such as DNA and mitochondria) and indirectly by inducing oxidative stress and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, certain characteristics of the tumor microenvironment (TME), such as hypoxia, low pH value, and high interstitial pressure, pose challenges to the sensitivity of radiation therapy, resulting in poor treatment effects.
[0003] Hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment is one of the main factors contributing to radiation therapy resistance. Hypoxia can reduce the direct DNA damage effect of radiation therapy and support tumor survival by increasing HIF-1α signaling and the regulation of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). In addition, radiation therapy can trigger immunogenic cell death (ICD), but the presence of radiation-resistant inhibitory cell types in the TME often leads to immunosuppression. This complex interaction within the TME not only affects the immune response to radiation therapy but also promotes radiation resistance, resulting in tumor recurrence.
[0004] Ferroptosis is a newly discovered non-apoptotic form of cell death, which is closely related to the efficacy of radiation therapy. The characteristics of ferroptosis are the accumulation of intracellular iron ions, the increase in lipid peroxide levels, and the imbalance of the antioxidant system. The depletion of glutathione (GSH) and the accumulation of iron ions are important markers of ferroptosis. Clinical studies have shown that increasing the level of ferroptosis can improve treatment outcomes and prolong the progression-free survival of patients receiving radiation therapy. During radiation therapy, externally generated ROS can effectively disrupt the redox balance, leading to the formation and accumulation of lipid peroxidation products (LPOs), or regulate genomic factors to promote ferroptosis. However, GSH can neutralize ROS, thereby hindering the reaction metabolism of LPO as a substrate for GPX4.
[0005] In order to improve the efficacy of radiation therapy, using nanozyme technology to regulate the redox state has become an important method. Nanozymes are composed of noble metals and have excellent catalytic activities, including functions similar to peroxidase (POD), oxidase (OXD), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD), as well as the ability to reduce metal ions. These nanozymes have high enzyme activities due to their excellent electron conductivity, abundant active sites, and large specific surface area. In particular, noble metal-based nanozymes exhibit enhanced catalytic performance due to their synergistic effects, making them very effective in tumor treatment applications.
[0006] In summary, the development of novel nanozymes to enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy, especially in promoting ferroptosis and regulating the tumor microenvironment, is of great significance for improving cancer treatment outcomes. Summary of the Invention
