Abstract
- [Display omitted] • A copper-doped BiSe x nanozyme with NIR-II absorption was constructed. • Cu-BiSe x nanozyme induces cell apoptosis through photothermal effect and augmented oxidative stress. • Cu-BiSe x induces Cu2+-mediated cuproptotic cell death. • Synergistic effect with α-PD-L1 boosts antitumor immune responses. Cuproptosis is a newly recognized copper-dependent nonapoptotic form of cell death, which stimulate studies exploring copper-based nanomaterials to treat cancer through distinct mechanistic action. However, it remains a challenge to completely eradicate tumors via monotherapy. Herein, a copper-doped BiSe x (CBS) nanozyme was developed to boost αPD-L1-mediated immune checkpoint blocking (ICB) via synergetic apoptosis/cuproptosis-induced immunogenic cell death (ICD). The defect-engineered CBS nanozyme exhibits strong peroxidase-mimicking activities and generates abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) production causing cell apoptosis, which could be further augmented by NIR photoirradiation. Meanwhile, the CBS could cause mitochondrial lipoylated protein aggregation, leading to cell cuproptosis. The photothermal/catalytic/cuproprosis synergistic therapy triggered by CBS nanozyme combined with αPD-L1 antibody effectively inhibits the growth of primary tumors and distant tumors in prostate cancer model. Furthermore, CBS nanozyme exhibited significant germicidal effect in wound infection. Collectively, this work provides a new insight into cancer treatment of copper-based nanozyme based on cuproptosis/apoptosis-related combined therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
