Abstract

Bladder cancer (BLCA), particularly due to the high recurrence and progression rates of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), is a significant global health challenge. Current treatments, such as Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy and intravesical chemotherapy, often cause substantial side effects and exhibit limited efficacy, highlighting the urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies. Single-cell spatial transcriptomic advancements have identified cuproptosis as a critical pathway in BLCA, presenting a promising target for treatment. In this study, these insights were leveraged to design Cu-VT nanoparticles (NPs), an innovative composite material that combines the unique properties of copper ions and the natural flavonoid vitexin, to induce cuproptosis. Cu-VT NPs could effectively induce apoptosis and oxidative stress in BLCA cells concurrently modulating the immune response within the tumor microenvironment. Comprehensive in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that Cu-VT NPs significantly inhibited tumor growth and reduced lung metastasis through cuproptosis induction. This dual-function composite material enhances therapeutic efficacy and minimizes side effects, showcasing its potential as a revolutionary treatment for BLCA. Our findings highlight the transformative potential of Cu-VT NPs in the context of BLCA treatment, establishing a new paradigm in the use of composite materials for the treatment of advanced cancer.

期刊介绍： Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field. The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest. Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials. Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
