Magnetothermal-activated gene editing strategy for enhanced tumor cell apoptosis.

Precise and effective initiation of the apoptotic mechanism in tumor cells is one of the most promising approaches for the treatment of solid tumors. However, current techniques such as high-temperature ablation or gene editing suffer from the risk of damage to adjacent normal tissues. This study proposes a magnetothermal-induced CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system for the targeted knockout of HSP70 and BCL2 genes, thereby enhancing tumor cell apoptosis. The magnetothermal nanoparticulate platform is composed of superparamagnetic ZnCoFe2O4@ZnMnFe2O4 nanoparticles and the modified polyethyleneimine (PEI) and hyaluronic acid (HA) on the surface, on which plasmid DNA can be effectively loaded. Under the induction of a controllable alternating magnetic field, the mild magnetothermal effect (42℃) not only triggers dual-genome editing to disrupt the apoptosis resistance mechanism of tumor cells but also sensitizes tumor cells to apoptosis through the heat effect itself, achieving a synergistic therapeutic effect. This strategy can precisely regulate the activation of the CRISPR-Cas9 system for tumor cell apoptosis without inducing significant damage to healthy tissues, thus providing a new avenue for cancer treatment.

Allicin‒Decorated FeO1-xOH Nanocatalytic Medicine for Fe2+/Fe3+ Cycling‒Promoted Efficient and Sustained Tumor Regression.

In the tumor treatment by Fenton reaction‒based nanocatalytic medicines, the gradual consumption of Fe(II) ions greatly reduces the production of hydroxyl radicals, one of the most active reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to much deteriorated therapeutic efficacy. Meanwhile, the ROS consumption caused by the highly expressed reduced glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment further prevents tumor apoptosis. Therefore, using the highly expressed GSH in tumor tissue to promote the Fe(III) reduction to Fe(II) can not only weaken the resistance of tumor to ROS attack, but also generate enough Fe(II) to accelerate the Fenton reaction. In view of this, an allicin‒modified FeO1-xOH nanocatalyst possessing varied valence states (II, III) has been designed and synthesized. The coexistence of Fe(II)/Fe(III) enables the simultaneous occurrence of Fenton reaction and GSH oxidation, and the Fe(III) reduction by GSH oxidation results in the promoted cyclic conversion of Fe ions in tumor and positive catalytic therapeutic effects. Moreover, allicin capable of regulating cell cycle and suppressing tumor growth is loaded on FeO1-xOH nanosheets to activate immune response against tumors and inhibit tumor recurrence, finally achieving the tumor regression efficiently and sustainably. This therapeutic strategy provides an innovative approach to formulate efficient antitumor nanomedicine for enhanced tumor treatment.

Nanomedicine Remodels Tumor Microenvironment for Solid Tumor Immunotherapy.

Although immunotherapy is relatively effective in treating hematological malignancies, their efficacy against solid tumors is still suboptimal or even noneffective presently. Compared to hematological cancers, solid tumors exhibit strikingly different immunosuppressive microenvironment, severely deteriorating the efficacy of immunotherapy: (1) chemical features such as hypoxia and mild acidity suppress the activity of immune cells, (2) the pro-tumorigenic domestication of immune cells in the microenvironment within the solid tumors further undermines the effectiveness of immunotherapy, and (3) the dense physical barrier of solid tumor tissues prevents the effective intratumoral infiltration and contact killing of active immune cells. Therefore, we believe that reversing the immunosuppressive microenvironment are of critical priority for the immunotherapy against solid tumors. Due to their unique morphologies, structures, and compositions, nanomedicines have become powerful tools for achieving this goal. In this Perspective, we will first briefly introduce the immunosuppressive microenvironment of solid tumors and then summarize the most recent progresses in nanomedicine-based immunotherapy for solid tumors by remodeling tumor immune-microenvironment in a comprehensive manner. It is highly expected that this Perspective will aid in advancing immunotherapy against solid tumors, and we are highly optimistic on the future development in this burgeoning field.

An explainable long short-term memory network for surgical site infection identification.

BACKGROUND: Currently, surgical site infection surveillance relies on labor-intensive manual chart review. Recently suggested solutions involve machine learning to identify surgical site infections directly from the medical record. Deep learning is a form of machine learning that has historically performed better than traditional methods while being harder to interpret. We propose a deep learning model, a long short-term memory network, for the identification of surgical site infection from the medical record with an attention layer for explainability. METHODS: We retrieved structured data and clinical notes from the University of Utah Health System's electronic health care record for operative events randomly selected for manual chart review from January 2016 to June 2021. Surgical site infection occurring within 30 days of surgery was determined according to the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program definition. We trained the long short-term memory model along with traditional machine learning models for comparison. We calculated several performance metrics from a holdout test set and performed additional analyses to understand the performance of the long short-term memory, including an explainability analysis. RESULTS: Surgical site infection was present in 4.7% of the total 9,185 operative events. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and sensitivity of the long short-term memory was higher (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve: 0.954, sensitivity: 0.920) compared to the top traditional model (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve: 0.937, sensitivity: 0.736). The top 5 features of the long short-term memory included 2 procedure codes and 3 laboratory values. CONCLUSION: Surgical site infection surveillance is vital for the reduction of surgical site infection rates. Our explainable long short-term memory achieved a comparable area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and greater sensitivity when compared to traditional machine learning methods. With explainable deep learning, automated surgical site infection surveillance could replace burdensome manual chart review processes.

Mild magnetic hyperthermia-activated immuno-responses for primary bladder cancer therapy.

Surgical intervention followed by chemotherapy is the principal treatment strategy for bladder cancer, which is hindered by significant surgical risks, toxicity from chemotherapy, and high rates of recurrence after surgery. In this context, a novel approach using mild magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) for bladder cancer treatment through the intra-bladder delivery of magnetic nanoparticles is presented for the first time. This method overcomes the limitations of low magnetic thermal efficiency, inadequate tumor targeting, and reduced therapeutic effectiveness associated with the traditional intravenous administration of magnetic nanoparticles. Core-shell Zn-CoFe2O4@Zn-MnFe2O4 (MNP) nanoparticles were developed and further modified with hyaluronic acid (HA) to enhance their targeting ability toward tumor cells. The application of controlled mild MHT using MNP-HA at temperatures of 43-44 °C successfully suppressed the proliferation of bladder tumor cells and tumor growth, while also decreasing the expression levels of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70). Crucially, this therapeutic approach also activated the body's innate immune response involving macrophages, as well as the adaptive immune responses of dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells, thereby reversing the immunosuppressive environment of the bladder tumor and effectively reducing tumor recurrence. This study uncovers the potential immune-activating mechanism of mild MHT in the treatment of bladder cancer and confirms the effectiveness and safety of this strategy, indicating its promising potential for the clinical management of bladder cancer with a high tendency for relapse.

NIR-II imaging-guided precise photodynamic therapy for augmenting tumor-starvation therapy by glucose metabolism reprogramming interference.

Metabolic reprogramming is a mechanism by which cancer cells alter their metabolic patterns to promote cell proliferation and growth, thereby enabling their resistance to external stress. 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) can eliminate their energy source by inhibiting glucose glycolysis, leading to cancer cell death through starvation. However, a compensatory increase in mitochondrial metabolism inhibits its efficacy. Herein, we propose a synergistic approach that combines photodynamic therapy (PDT) with starvation therapy to address this challenge. To monitor the nanodrugs and determine the optimal triggering time for precise tumor therapy, a multifunctional nano-platform comprising lanthanide-doped nanoparticle (LnNP) cores was constructed and combined with mesoporous silicon shells loaded with 2DG and photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) in the mesopore channels. Under 980 nm near-infrared light excitation, the downshifted 1550 nm fluorescence signal in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) window from the LnNPs was used to monitor the accumulation of nanomaterials in tumors. Furthermore, upconverted 650 nm light excited the Ce6 to generate singlet oxygen for PDT, which damaged mitochondrial function and enhanced the efficacy of 2DG by inhibiting hexokinase 2 and lactate dehydrogenase A expressions. As a result, glucose metabolism reprogramming was inhibited and the efficiency of starvation therapy was significantly enhanced. Overall, the proposed NIR-II bioimaging-guided PDT-augmented starvation therapy, which simultaneously inhibited glycolysis and mitochondria, facilitated the effects of a cancer theranostic system.

Nanocatalytic Anti-Tumor Immune Regulation.

Immunotherapy has brought a new dawn for human being to defeat cancer. Although existing immunotherapy regimens (CAR-T, etc.) have made breakthroughs in the treatments of hematological cancer and few solid tumors such as melanoma, the therapeutic efficacy on most solid tumors is still far from being satisfactory. In recent years, the researches on tumor immunotherapy based on nanocatalytic materials are under rapid development, and significant progresses have been made. Nanocatalytic medicine has been demonstrated to be capable of overcoming the limitations of current clinicnal treatments by using toxic chemodrugs, and exhibits highly attractive advantages over traditional therapies, such as the enhanced and sustained therapeutic efficacy based on the durable catalytic activity, remarkably reduced harmful side-effects without using traditional toxic chemodrugs, and so on. Most recently, nanocatalytic medicine has been introduced in the immune-regulation for disease treatments, especially, in the immunoactivation for tumor therapies. This article presents the most recent progresses in immune-response activations by nanocatalytic medicine-initiated chemical reactions for tumor immunotherapy, and elucidates the mechanism of nanocatalytic medicines in regulating anti-tumor immunity. By reviewing the current research progress in the emerging field, this review will further highlight the great potential and broad prospects of nanocatalysis-based anti-tumor immune-therapeutics.

Anti-Acidification and Immune Regulation by Nano-Ceria-Loaded Mg-Al Layered Double Hydroxide for Rheumatoid Arthritis Therapy.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease featuring an abnormal immune microenvironment and resultant accumulation of hydrogen ions (H+ ) produced by activated osteoclasts (OCs). Currently, clinic RA therapy can hardly achieve sustained or efficient therapeutic outcomes due to the failures in generating sufficient immune modulation and manipulating the accumulation of H+ that deteriorates bone damage. Herein, a highly effective immune modulatory nanocatalytic platform, nanoceria-loaded magnesium aluminum layered double hydroxide (LDH-CeO2 ), is proposed for enhanced immune modulation based on acid neutralization and metal ion inherent bioactivity. Specifically, the mild alkaline LDH initiates significant M2 repolarization of macrophages triggered by the elevated antioxidation effect of CeO2 via neutralizing excessive H+ in RA microenvironment, thus resulting in the efficient recruitment of regulatory T cell (Treg) and suppressions on T helper 17 cell (Th 17) and plasma cells. Moreover, the osteogenic activity is stimulated by the Mg ion released from LDH, thereby promoting the damaged bone healing. The encouraging therapeutic outcomes in adjuvant-induced RA model mice demonstrate the high feasibility of such a therapeutic concept, which provides a novel and efficient RA therapeutic modality by the immune modulatory and bone-repairing effects of inorganic nanocatalytic material.

Catechol-Isolated Atomically Dispersed Nanocatalysts for Self-Motivated Cocatalytic Tumor Therapy.

Nanocatalytic tumor therapy based on Fenton nanocatalysts has attracted considerable attention because of its therapeutic specificity, enhanced outcomes, and high biocompatibility. Nevertheless, the rate-determining step in Fenton chemistry, which involves the transition of a high-valence metallic center (FeIII ) to a Fenton-active low-valence metallic center (FeII ), has hindered advances in nanocatalyst-based therapeutics. In this study, we constructed mesoporous single iron atomic nanocatalysts (mSAFe NCs) by employing catechols from dopamine to coordinate and isolate single iron atoms. The catechols also serve as reductive ligands, generating a field-effect-based cocatalytic system that instantly reduces FeIII species to FeII species within the mSAFe NCs. This self-motivated cocatalytic strategy enabled by mSAFe NCs accelerates the kinetics of the Fenton catalytic reaction, resulting in remarkable performance for nanocatalytic tumor therapy both in vitro and in vivo.

Soybean Oil-Derived Lipids for Efficient mRNA Delivery.

The rapid progress in the development of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines during the initial year of the pandemic has highlighted the significance of lipid nanoparticles in therapeutic delivery. Various lipid types have been investigated for the effective delivery of mRNA, each with unique functions and versatile applications. These range from their use in cancer immunotherapy and gene editing to their role in developing vaccines against infectious diseases. Nonetheless, continued exploration of novel lipids and synthetic approaches is necessary to further advance the understanding and expand the techniques for optimizing mRNA delivery. In this work, new lipids derived from FDA-approved soybean oil are facilely synthesized and these are employed for efficient mRNA delivery. EGFP and Fluc mRNA are used to evaluate the delivery efficacy of the lipid formulations both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, organ-specific targeting capabilities are observed in certain formulations, and their outstanding performance is demonstrated in delivering Cre mRNA for gene editing. These results showcase the potential of soybean oil-derived lipids in mRNA delivery, offering utility across a broad spectrum of bioapplications.

Nanomedicine-based co-delivery of a calcium channel inhibitor and a small molecule targeting CD47 for lung cancer immunotherapy.

Pro-tumoral macrophages in lung tumors present a significant challenge in immunotherapy. Here, we introduce a pH-responsive nanomedicine approach for activating anti-tumoral macrophages and dendritic cells. Using a layered double hydroxide nanosheet carrier, we co-deliver a T-type calcium channel inhibitor (TTA-Q6) and a CD47 inhibitor (RRX-001) into lung tumors. In the tumor acidic environment, TTA-Q6 is released, disrupting cancer cell calcium uptake, causing endoplasmic reticulum stress and inducing calreticulin transfer to the cell surface. Surface calreticulin activates macrophages and triggers dendritic cell maturation, promoting effective antigen presentation and therefore activating antitumor T cells. Simultaneously, RRX-001 reduces CD47 protein levels, aiding in preventing immune escape by calreticulin-rich cancer cells. In lung tumor models in male mice, this combined approach shows anti-tumor effects and immunity against tumor re-exposure, highlighting its potential for lung cancer immunotherapy.

Biomimetic inducer enabled dual ferroptosis of tumor and M2-type macrophages for enhanced tumor immunotherapy.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are abundant in the tumor microenvironment which promotes the formation of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITME) through multiple mechanisms, severely counteracting the therapeutic efficacy of immunotherapy. In this study, a novel biomimetic ferroptosis inducer (D@FMN-M) capable of ITME regulation for enhanced cancer ferroptosis immunotherapy is reported. Upon tumor accumulation of D@FMN-M, the intratumoral mild acidity triggers the biodegradation of Fe-enriched nanocarriers and the concurrent co-releases of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) and Fe3+. The released Fe3+ is reduced to Fe2+ by consuming intratumoral glutathione (GSH), which promotes abundant free radical generation via triggering Fenton and Fe2+-DHA reactions, thus inducing ferroptosis of both cancer cells and M2-type TAMs. Resultantly, the anticancer immune response is strongly activated by the massive tumor-associated antigens released by ferroptositic cancer cells. Also importantly, the ferroptosis-sensitive M2-type TAMs will be either damaged or gradually domesticated to ferroptosis-resistant M1 TAMs under the ferroptosis stress, favoring the normalization of ITME and finally amplifying cancer ferroptosis immunotherapeutic efficacy. This work provides a novel strategy for ferroptosis immunotherapy of solid tumors featuring TAMs infiltration and immunosuppression by inducing dual ferroptosis of tumor cells and M2-type TAMs.

Nebulized Therapy of Early Orthotopic Lung Cancer by Iron-Based Nanoparticles: Macrophage-Regulated Ferroptosis of Cancer Stem Cells.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) within protumorigenic microlesions are a critical driver in the initiation and progression of early stage lung cancer, where immune cells provide an immunosuppressive niche to strengthen the CSC stemness. As the mutual interactions between CSCs and immune cells are increasingly recognized, regulating the immune cells to identify and effectively eliminate CSCs has recently become one of the most attractive therapeutic options, especially for abundant tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Herein, we developed a nebulized nanocatalytic medicine strategy in which iron-based nanoparticle-regulated TAMs effectively target CSC niches and trigger CSC ferroptosis in the early stage of lung cancer. Briefly, the iron-based nanoparticles can effectively accumulate in lung cancer microlesions (minimum 122 µm in diameter) through dextran-mediated TAM targeting by nebulization administration, and as a result, nanoparticle-internalized TAMs can play a predominant role of the iron factory in elevating the iron level surrounding CSC niches and destroying redox equilibrium through downregulating glucose-6-phosphate metabolite following their lysosomal degradation and iron metabolism. The altered microenvironment results in the enhanced sensitivity of CSCs to ferroptosis due to their high expression of the CD44 receptor mediating iron endocytosis. In an orthotopic mouse model of lung cancer, the initiation and progression of early lung cancer are significantly suppressed through ferroptosis-induced stemness reduction of CSCs by nebulization administration. This work presents a nebulized therapeutic strategy for early lung cancer through modulation of communications between TAMs and CSCs, which is expected to be a general approach for regulating primary microlesions and micrometastatic niches of lung cancer.

Single-atom catalysts-based catalytic ROS clearance for efficient psoriasis treatment and relapse prevention via restoring ESR1.

Psoriasis is a common inflammatory disease of especially high recurrence rate (90%) which is suffered by approximately 3% of the world population. The overexpression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a critical role in psoriasis progress. Here we show that biomimetic iron single-atom catalysts (FeN4O2-SACs) with broad-spectrum ROS scavenging capability can be used for psoriasis treatment and relapse prevention via related gene restoration. FeN4O2-SACs demonstrate attractive multiple enzyme-mimicking activities based on atomically dispersed Fe active structures, which are analogous to those of natural antioxidant enzymes, iron superoxide dismutase, human erythrocyte catalase, and ascorbate peroxidase. Further, in vitro and in vivo experiments show that FeN4O2-SACs can effectively ameliorate psoriasis-like symptoms and prevent the relapse with augmented efficacy compared with the clinical drug calcipotriol. Mechanistically, estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) is identified as the core protein upregulated in psoriasis treatment through RNA sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. Together, this study provides a proof of concept of psoriasis catalytic therapy (PCT) and multienzyme-inspired bionics (MIB).

Magnetic-Manipulated NK Cell Proliferation and Activation Enhance Immunotherapy of Orthotopic Liver Cancer.

The immunotherapy of deep solid tumors in the human body, such as liver cancer, still faces great challenges, especially the inactivation and insufficient infiltration of immune cells in solid tumor microenvironment. Natural killer (NK) cells are gaining ever-increasing attention owing to their unique features and are expected to play an important role in the liver cancer immunotherapy. However, NK cells are severely insufficient and inactivated in solid liver tumor due to the highly immunosuppressive intratumor microenvironment, resulting in poor clinical therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we propose a mild magnetocaloric regulation approach using a magnetogenetic nanoplatform MNPs@PEI-FA/pDNA (MPFD), which is synthesized by loading a heat-inducible plasmid DNA (HSP70-IL-2-EGFP) on polyethyleneimine (PEI)- and folic acid (FA)-modified ZnCoFe2O4@ZnMnFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to promote the proliferation and activation of tumor-infiltrating NK cells under magnetic manipulation without the limitation of penetration depth for orthotopic liver cancer immunotherapy. The magnetothermally responsive MPFD serves as a magnetism-heat nanotransducer to induce the gene transcription of IL-2 cytokine in orthotopic liver tumor for NK cell proliferation and activation. Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that the remote mild magnetocaloric regulation (∼40 °C) by MPFD initiates the HSP70 promoter to trigger the overexpression of IL-2 cytokine for subsequent secretion, leading to in situ expansion and activation of tumor-infiltrating NK cells through the IL-2/IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) pathways and the resulting prominent tumor inhibition. This work not only evidences the great potential of magnetogenetic nanoplatform but also reveals the underlying proliferation and activation mechanism of NK cells in liver cancer treatment by magnetogenetic nanoplatform.

Myocardial-Targeting Tannic Cerium Nanocatalyst Attenuates Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury.

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Medications or surgery have been considered as effective protocols to treat IHD for decades. Yet the reperfusion of the blood flow frequently leads to the generation of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing prominent and irreversible damage to the cardiomyocytes. In the present work, tannic acid-assembled tetravalent cerium (TA-Ce) nanocatalysts with appealing cardiomyocyte-targeting and antioxidation capability have been synthesized and applied for the effective and biocompatible ischemia/reperfusion injury therapeutics. TA-Ce nanocatalysts could effectively rescue the cardiomyocytes from oxidative stress induced by H2 O2 challenge as well as oxygen-glucose deprivation in vitro. In the murine ischemia/reperfusion model, cardiac accumulation and intracellular ROS scavenging could be achieved against the pathology, substantially reducing the myocardial infarct area and recovering heart functionality. This work illuminates the design of nanocatalytic metal complexes and their therapeutic prospects in ischemic heart diseases with high effectiveness and biocompatibility, paving the way for the clinical translation from bench to bedside.

Dual Tumor Exosome Biomarker Co-recognitions Based Nanoliquid Biopsy for the Accurate Early Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer.

Pancreatic cancer, with extremely limited treatment options and poor prognosis, urgently needs a breakthrough in early diagnosis and monitoring. Tumor exosomes (T-Exos) detection is presently one of the most clinically significant liquid biopsy approaches for non-invasive pancreatic cancer early diagnosis, which, unfortunately, cannot be applied as a routine diagnostic tool until a number of obstacles, such as unsatisfactory specificity and sensitivity, as well as labor-intensive purification and analysis procedures by ultracentrifugation and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, are overcome. Here, we report a facile nanoliquid biopsy assay for the especially specific, ultrasensitive yet economical T-Exos detection by a dual specific biomarker antigen co-recognition and capturing strategy, which is enabled by grafting two corresponding capture antibodies on magnetic nanoparticles and gold nanoparticles, for the accurate detection of target tumor exosomes. This approach exhibits excellent specificity and ultrahigh sensitivity of detecting as low as 78 pg/mL pancreatic cancer exosome specific protein GPC1. Successful screening of 21 pancreatic cancer samples from 22 normal control cases with the enhanced specificity and sensitivity ensures the promising non-invasive monitoring and diagnosis for early stage pancreatic cancer.

Recent development of surface-enhanced Raman scattering for biosensing.

Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) technology, as a powerful tool to identify molecular species by collecting molecular spectral signals at the single-molecule level, has achieved substantial progresses in the fields of environmental science, medical diagnosis, food safety, and biological analysis. As deepening research is delved into SERS sensing, more and more high-performance or multifunctional SERS substrate materials emerge, which are expected to push Raman sensing into more application fields. Especially in the field of biological analysis, intrinsic and extrinsic SERS sensing schemes have been widely used and explored due to their fast, sensitive and reliable advantages. Herein, recent developments of SERS substrates and their applications in biomolecular detection (SARS-CoV-2 virus, tumor etc.), biological imaging and pesticide detection are summarized. The SERS concepts (including its basic theory and sensing mechanism) and the important strategies (extending from nanomaterials with tunable shapes and nanostructures to surface bio-functionalization by modifying affinity groups or specific biomolecules) for improving SERS biosensing performance are comprehensively discussed. For data analysis and identification, the applications of machine learning methods and software acquisition sources in SERS biosensing and diagnosing are discussed in detail. In conclusion, the challenges and perspectives of SERS biosensing in the future are presented.

MnOOH-Catalyzed Autoxidation of Glutathione for Reactive Oxygen Species Production and Nanocatalytic Tumor Innate Immunotherapy.

The antioxidant system, signed with reduced glutathione (GSH) overexpression, is the key weapon for tumor to resist the attack by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Counteracting the ROS depletion by GSH is an effective strategy to guarantee the antitumor efficacy of nanocatalytic therapy. However, simply reducing the concentration of GSH does not sufficiently improve tumor response to nanocatalytic therapy intervention. Herein, a well-dispersed MnOOH nanocatalyst is developed to catalyze GSH autoxidation and peroxidase-like reaction concurrently and respectively to promote GSH depletion and H2O2 decomposition to produce abundant ROS such as hydroxyl radical (·OH), thereby generating a highly effective superadditive catalytic therapeutic efficacy. Such a therapeutic strategy that transforms endogenous "antioxidant" into "oxidant" may open a new avenue for the development of antitumor nanocatalytic medicine. Moreover, the released Mn2+ can activate and sensitize the cGAS-STING pathway to the damaged intratumoral DNA double-strands induced by the produced ROS to further promote macrophage maturation and M1-polarization, which will boost the innate immunotherapeutic efficacy. Resultantly, the developed simple MnOOH nanocatalytic medicine capable of simultaneously catalyzing GSH depletion and ROS generation, and mediating innate immune activation, holds great potential in the treatment of malignant tumors.
