This invention discloses
albumin nanoparticles co-loaded with flavin and
lactate oxidase, their preparation method, and applications. Using
human serum albumin as a carrier, flavin and
lactate oxidase are simultaneously encapsulated at a
mass ratio of 10:1, with a particle size of 150-180 nm and a polydispersity index of less than 0.2. This invention exerts its anti-
hepatocellular carcinoma effect through mechanisms such as reducing lactate levels in the
tumor microenvironment, inducing an increase in
reactive oxygen species, inhibiting cGAS
protein lactation modification, and activating the cGAS-STING signaling pathway. The nanoparticles exhibit high encapsulation efficiency and good stability. The flavin loaded on these nanoparticles can significantly reduce the reduction of pyruvate to lactate by inhibiting
lactate dehydrogenase; simultaneously, the
lactate oxidase loaded on these nanoparticles catalyzes the
dehydrogenation of lactate to pyruvate. In other words, these nanoparticles synergistically regulate lactate
metabolism through a two-way regulatory strategy of "reducing source and increasing sink"—"inhibiting lactate production" and "promoting lactate clearance"—significantly enhancing
in vitro and
in vivo anti-tumor effects, and demonstrating high
biosafety.
