Bioorthogonal Regulated Metabolic Balance for Promotion of Ferroptosis and Mild Photothermal Therapy
The nanozyme with NADPH oxidase (NOX)-like activity can promote the consumption of NADPH and the generation of free radicals. In consideration of that the upregulation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) would accelerate the compensation production of NADPH, for inhibition of G6PD activity, our designed bioorthogonal nanozyme can in situ catalyze pro-DHEA to produce G6PD inhibitor and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) drugs to inhibit G6PD activity. Therefore, the well-defined platform can disrupt NADPH homeostasis, leading to the collapse of the antioxidant defense system in the tumor cells. The enzyme-like activity of PdCuFe is further enhanced when irradiated by NIR-II light. The destruction of NADPH homeostasis can promote ferroptosis and, in turn, facilitate mild photothermal therapy. Our design can realize NADPH depletion and greatly improve the therapeutic effect through metabolic regulation, which may provide inspiration for the design of bioorthogonal catalysis
