A carotenoid production strain Rhodosporidium toruloides NP11 and its mutant strain R. toruloides A1-15 were studied under chemostat nitrogen-limited cultivation. Multi-omics analysis (metabolomics, lipidomics and transcriptomics) was used to investigate the different mechanisms of torularhodin accumulation between NP11 and A1-15. The results showed that the carotenoid synthesis pathway was significantly enhanced in A1-15 compared to NP11 under nitrogen limitation, due to the significant increase of torularhodin. Under nitrogen-limited conditions, higher levels of β-oxidation were present in A1-15 compared to those in NP11, which provided sufficient precursors for carotenoid synthesis. In addition, ROS stress accelerated the intracellular transport of iron ions, promoted the expression of CRTI and CRTY genes, and reduced the transcript levels of FNTB1 and FNTB2 in the bypass pathway, and these factors may be responsible for the regulation of high torularhodin production in A1-15. This study provided insights into the selective production of torularhodin.

Low-dose radiotherapy (LDR) has shown significant implications for inflaming the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Surprisingly, we identify that FABP-dependent lipid droplet biogenesis in tumor cells is a key determinant of LDR-evoked cytotoxic and immunostimulatory effects and developed a nanointegrated strategy to promote the antitumor efficacy of LDR through cooperative ferroptosis immunotherapy. Specifically, TCPP-TK-PEG-PAMAM-FA, a nanoscale multicomponent functional polymer with self-assembly capability, was synthesized for cooperatively entrapping hafnium ions (Hf4+) and HIF-1α-inhibiting siRNAs (siHIF-1α). The TCPP@Hf-TK-PEG-PAMAM-FA@siHIF-1α nanoassemblies are specifically taken in by folate receptor-overexpressing tumor cells and activated by the elevated cellular ROS stress. siHIF-1α could readily inhibit the FABP3/7 expression in tumor cells via HIF-1α-FABP3/7 signaling and abolish lipid droplet biogenesis for enhancing the peroxidation susceptibility of membrane lipids, which synergizes with the elevated ROS stress in the context of Hf4+-enhanced radiation exposure and evokes pronounced ferroptotic damage in vital membrane structures. Interestingly, TCPP@Hf-TK-PEG-PAMAM-FA@siHIF-1α-enhanced ferroptotic biomembrane damage also facilitates the exposure of tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) to promote post-LDR immunotherapeutic effects, leading to robust tumor regression in vivo. This study offers a nanointegrative approach to boost the antitumor effects of LDR through the utilization of tumor-intrinsic lipid metabolism.

Patients with postoperative tumor-associated bone defects need both chemotherapy and bone repair in the shifted disease states, but chemotherapy resistance, severe side-effects, and poor bone regeneration result in tumor recurrence and therapy failure. Herein, we develop an injectable and tumor microenvironment (TME)-modulated hydrogel composed of bio-responsive drug-loaded mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGN), gelatin (Gel), and oxidized chondroitin sulfate (OCS) for tumor-associated bone defects closed-loop management. The TME-modulated hydrogels can deplete protons and glutathione (GSH) within residual tumor tissues with sustained drug responsive-release capability, therefore interfering TME and overcoming cancer resistance, and also reducing off-target effects. Mechanistically, in the early state of treatment, acidic environment of TME will break the Schiff’s base bond network of hydrogels, thus deliver drug-loaded nanoparticles into tumor cells. Subsequently, the pH-responsive amide bonds, GSH-responsive disulfide bonds and acidity-degradable nanocarriers of drug-loaded nanoparticles can induce ROS stress and mitochondrial-related damage, activating the p16-CYLD tumor suppressor pathway to induce apoptosis and inhibit metastasis. In the late state of treatment, the hydrogels shifted into regenerative scaffolds to exert long-lasting osteogenesis effects. Overall, the TME-modulated hydrogels can orchestrate steady bone repair and avoid tumor recurrence, achieving closed-loop management of postoperative tumor-associated bone defects.
