Glucose oxidase and MnO₂ functionalized liposome for catalytic radiosensitization enhanced synergistic breast cancer...

In recent years, the integration of radiotherapy and nanocatalytic medicine has gained widespread attention in the treatment of breast cancer. Herein, the glucose oxidase (GOx) and MnO₂ nanoparticles co-modified multifunctional liposome of GOx-MnO₂@Lip was constructed for enhanced radiotherapy. Introduction of GOx would not only elevate the glucose consumption to starve the cancer cells, but also increased the endogenous H₂O₂ level. Meanwhile, high intracellular GSH concentration facilitated the release of Mn²⁺ to amplify the cytotoxic ·OH through cascade catalytic reactions within the tumor microenvironment, resulting in a favorable tumor suppression rate of 74.45 %. Furthermore, the blood biochemical and blood routine demonstrated that GOx-MnO₂@Lip had no obvious toxic side effects. Therefore, this work provided a potential vehicle for synergistic cancer starving therapy, chemodynamic therapy and radiotherapy for improving therapeutic efficacy of breast cancer.
