This study presents a plasmonic trienzyme-integrated metal-organic framework (plasEnMOF) nanoplatform for synergistic therapy of hypoxic tumors. The encapsulation of NIR-II plasmonic Au nanorods and natural enzymes allowed for efficient depletion of intratumoral glucose and generation of toxic reactive oxygen species for cancer therapy.
Natural enzyme-based catalytic cascades hold great promise for cancer therapy, but their clinical utility is greatly hindered by the loss of their functions during in vivo delivery. Herein, a plasmonic trienzyme-integrated metal-organic framework (plasEnMOF) nanoplatform with high-efficiency enzyme cascades is reported for synergistic starvation, chemodynamic, and plasmonic hyperthermia trimodal therapy of hypoxic tumors. These plasEnMOFs are created with encapsulation of near-infrared-II (NIR-II) plasmonic Au nanorods and natural enzymes-catalase (CAT), glucose oxidase (GOx), and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) within zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) MOFs. As a trienzyme cascade system, the plasEnMOFs effectively deplete intratumoral glucose and generate toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) for starvation therapy and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) combined with the plasmonic hyperthermia therapy (PHT). The enhanced glucose consumption and ROS generation by the NIR-II plasmonic photothermal effect are also demonstrated. The improved chemo- and thermotolerance of the encapsulated natural enzymes within the protective ZIF-8 MOFs are evidenced. With the integrated enzyme cascades and NIR-II photothermal effects, these plasEnMOFs are demonstrated with exceptional therapeutic effects on 4T1 xenograft tumors through the combined starvation/CDT/PHT therapy. This work highlights the superiority of natural enzyme cascade systems integrated in plasmonic MOFs for high-efficiency enzymatic cancer therapy.
