ABSTRACT
Metabolic heterogeneity and the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment (TIME) of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) hinder therapeutic effectiveness. Although emerging metabolic therapy and immunotherapy show promise, they are limited by off-target effects and immune escape. Here, a redox-activatable, sequentially-releasing nanoparticle (AMANC@M) for tumor-targeted delivery of anticancer agents and CRISPR/Cas9 has been developed. AMANC@M can reverse the TIME through dual metabolic inhibition, thereby enhancing TNBC therapy. AMANC@M demonstrates excellent biosafety and targets tumors precisely through biomimetic hybrid membrane-mediated homologous homing and the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Once internalized into tumor cells, the CRISPR/Cas9 system ("energy nanolock") is released through glutathione (GSH) cleavage and effectively knocks down the expression of lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) to suppress glycolysis. After peeling off of the gene editing shell, a newly synthesized targeted drug, CPI-Z2 ("nutrihijacker" and "energy nanolock"), is released in a controlled manner to block the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Nitric oxide (NO) produced from loaded L-arginine enhances the efficiency of CPI-Z2 and reduces drug resistance. Combined with NO therapy, both blockades of nutrients and energy production transform the hypoxia and acidic TIME into an immunocompetent tumor microenvironment (TME) for tumor elimination. Furthermore, AMANC@M offers capabilities for photothermal (PT) therapy and provides clear imaging through PT, photoacoustic (PA), or computed tomography (CT) signals in tumor tissue. Thus, this study provides a new and promising sequentially stimuli-responsive targeting strategy for nanoparticle development, making it a potential treatment candidate for TNBC and other tumors.
