In these nanozymes, Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) acts as a targeting ligand, enabling effective targeting of tumor cells. Additionally, AHPRzyme exhibits multiple anti-tumor mechanisms: ① The prussian blue nanozymes in AHPRzyme have catalase (CAT) activity, which decomposes H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CEN2 cells into non-toxic H<sub>2</sub>O, reducing H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> levels and minimizing damage to normal cells. The released O<sub>2</sub> helps alleviate the hypoxic environment of the tumor, inhibiting lactate production due to hypoxia and consequently suppressing tumor growth. ② The prussian blue nanozymes also have peroxidase (POD) activity, which catalyzes H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> in tumor cells to generate ·OH, a reactive oxygen species, leading to tumor cell apoptosis. ③ The α-lipoic acid structure in AHPRzyme contains disulfide bonds that react with GSH, depleting excess glutathione (GSH) in tumor cells, disrupting the oxidative stress balance within the cells, and making them more sensitive to reactive oxygen species, thereby increasing tumor cell apoptosis. In summary, AHPRzyme can inhibit tumor cell growth and promote tumor cell apoptosis by improving the tumor microenvironment, achieving the goal of anti-nasopharyngeal carcinoma therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":15138,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomaterials Applications","volume":" ","pages":"8853282251318514"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143189525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The imine linkage in Try-CA and acid-dependent protonation of Try and fisetin endow the nanodrugs with pH-triggered dynamic changes of particle sizes, surficial charges, and drug release. Moreover, the combined use of Try-CA and fisetin also endows the nanodrugs with superior antioxidative, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial capabilities compared to their individual use. These characteristics of the nanodrugs facilitate long-term circulation stability, effective penetration through BBB, selective accumulation in the brain, and target to central and peripheral focal areas, thereby achieving comprehensive treatment or relief of SAE.
