Abstract
Combination therapy is a promising strategy for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), due to the advantages of overcoming drug resistance, side effects, and tumor heterogeneity. Herein, we report a novel dual-targeting bimetallic nanozyme (MH-iRGD) consisting of nanosized manganese ferrite (MF) after encapsulating with dopamine and methacrylic anhydride to modify hyaluronic acid, followed by integrin receptor targeting peptide (HS-PEG3400-iRGD) modification for LUAD targeted therapy. Our study confirmed that MH-iRGD combined with near-infrared irradiation (NIR) possessed dramatic photothermal effects and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and GSH depletion abilities. Importantly, MH-iRGD possessed dual-targeting capacities for LUAD cells overexpressed CD44 and αV-integrin receptors owing to hyaluronic acid coating and iRGD modification. Inhibitors of CD44 and integrins could impair the uptake of MH-iRGD in LUAD cells. Moreover, MH-iRGD + NIR displayed excellent anti-LUAD effects as a result of the production of intracellular ROS, consumption of glutathione (GSH) and mitochondrial dysfunction. Mechanistically, NIR robustly strengthened MH-iRGD-induced ferroptosis and apoptosis by down-regulating SLC7A11, GPX4, Bcl-2 levels while up-regulating Bax level. Specifically, ferroptosis and apoptosis were increased while the LUAD progression was inhibited after intravenous injection of MH-iRGD + NIR in xenograft mouse models. Taken together, our results indicate that MH-iRGD + NIR serves as a promising targeted therapy for LUAD, which broadens the applications of highly active dual-targeting bimetallic nanozymes.
期刊介绍:
Biomaterials is an international journal covering the science and clinical application of biomaterials. A biomaterial is now defined as a substance that has been engineered to take a form which, alone or as part of a complex system, is used to direct, by control of interactions with components of living systems, the course of any therapeutic or diagnostic procedure. It is the aim of the journal to provide a peer-reviewed forum for the publication of original papers and authoritative review and opinion papers dealing with the most important issues facing the use of biomaterials in clinical practice. The scope of the journal covers the wide range of physical, biological and chemical sciences that underpin the design of biomaterials and the clinical disciplines in which they are used. These sciences include polymer synthesis and characterization, drug and gene vector design, the biology of the host response, immunology and toxicology and self assembly at the nanoscale. Clinical applications include the therapies of medical technology and regenerative medicine in all clinical disciplines, and diagnostic systems that reply on innovative contrast and sensing agents. The journal is relevant to areas such as cancer diagnosis and therapy, implantable devices, drug delivery systems, gene vectors, bionanotechnology and tissue engineering.
