An epigenetic strategy is introduced to induce cancer pyroptosis during sonotherapy using a nanocoordinator (HTA) constructed through metal-phenolic coordination involving Aza (a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor), TiO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles, and polyphenol-modified hyaluronic acid. While Aza restores GSDME expression, TiO<sub>2</sub> generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) under ultrasound stimulation, activating caspase-3 and inducing pyroptosis <i>via</i> GSDME cleavage.
