ABSTRACT
A kind of drug-loaded nanomotors with deep penetration was developed to improve the therapeutic effect of ferroptosis on tumor. The nanomotors were constructed by co-loading hemin and ferrocene (Fc) on the surface of bowl-shaped polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles. The near-infrared response of PDA makes the nanomotor have high tumor penetration capability. In vitro experiments show that the nanomotors can exhibit good biocompatibility, high light to heat conversion efficiency, and deep tumor permeability. It is worth noting that under the catalysis of H2O2 overexpressed in the tumor microenvironment, the Fenton-like reagents hemin and Fc loaded on the nanomotors can increase the concentration of toxic â¢OH. Furthermore, hemin can consume glutathione in tumor cells and trigger the up-regulation of heme oxygenase-1, which can efficiently decompose hemin to Fe2+, thus producing the Fenton reaction and causing a ferroptosis effect. Notably, thanks to the photothermal effect of PDA, it can enhance the generation of reactive oxygen species and thus intervene in the Fenton reaction process, thereby enhancing the ferroptosis effect photothermally. In vivo antitumor results show that the drug-loaded nanomotors with high penetrability showed an effective antitumor therapeutic effect.
