Coordination engineering of FeCo dual single-atom nanozymes with photothermal-enhanced cascaded catalysis for efficient pancreatic cancer immunotherapy

Wenchao Huang et al.Jul 21, 2024
Cancer immunotherapy holds great promise in improving therapeutic outcomes. However, its effectiveness is significantly hindered by the inadequate immunogenicity and potent immuno-suppressive nature of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, we elaborately design an advanced iron-cobalt dual-single-atom nanozyme (FeCo-DA) with adjacent Fe-N/O-C and Co-N/O-C pair sites. This design aims to induce potent immunogenic cell death (ICD), ultimately enhancing cancer immunotherapy by activating the immune microenvironment. Compared to Fe and Co single-atom nanozyme, FeCo-DA demonstrated superior photothermal effects and cascaded catalytic performance by simultaneously mimicking peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione oxidase (GSH-OXD). The cascaded catalysis not only augmented oxidative stress but also exacerbated the redox imbalance through sustainable generation of hydroxyl radicals (∙OH) and depletion of glutathione (GSH). The comprehensive in vitro and vivo experiments demonstrated that FeCo-DA effectively induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) by releasing damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). The photothermal-enhanced cascaded catalytic therapy exhibited remarkable therapeutic effects on a mouse model of pancreatic cancer. This work highlights the potential of structure engineering in enhancing the efficacy of dual single-atom nanozyme for ICD-based cancer immunotherapy.
