A Catalase-Like Metal-Organic Framework Nanohybrid for O-2-Evolving Synergistic Chemoradiotherapy

摘要

Tumor hypoxia, the Achilles' heel of current cancer therapies, is indispensable to drug resistance and poor therapeutic outcomes especially for radiotherapy. Here we propose an insitu catalytic oxygenation strategy in tumor using porphyrinic metal-organic framework (MOF)-gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) nanohybrid as a therapeutic platform to achieve O-2-evolving chemoradiotherapy. The AuNPs decorated on the surface of MOF effectively stabilize the nanocomposite and serve as radiosensitizers, whereas the MOF scaffold acts as a container to encapsulate chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin. Invitro and invivo studies verify that the catalase-like nanohybrid significantly enhances the radiotherapy effect, alleviating tumor hypoxia and achieving synergistic anticancer efficacy. This hybrid nanomaterial remarkably suppresses the tumor growth with minimized systemic toxicity, opening new horizons for the next generation of theranostic nanomedicines.
