Ultrasound-Augmented Mitochondrial Calcium Ion Overload by Calcium Nanomodulator to Induce Immunogenic Cell Death

Abstract

Immunogenic cell death (ICD), a manner of tumor cell death that can trigger antitumor immune responses, has received extensive attention as a potential synergistic modality for cancer immunotherapy. Although many calcium ion (Ca 2+ ) nanomodulators have been developed for cancer therapy through mitochondrial Ca 2+ overload, their ICD-inducing properties have not been explored. Herein, an acid-sensitive PEG-decorated calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) nanoparticle incorporating curcumin (CUR; a Ca 2+ enhancer) ( PEG CaCUR) was prepared using a simple one-pot strategy. PEG CaCUR served as not only a Ca 2+ nanomodulator inducing efficient mitochondrial Ca 2+ overload but also an ICD inducer during improved synergistic cancer therapy. Combination of PEG CaCUR with ultrasound (US), PEG CaCUR+US, led to an enhanced ICD effect attributable to the enhanced mitochondrial Ca 2+ overload, along with subsequent upregulation of reactive oxygen species levels. PEG CaCUR also facilitates photoacoustic/fluorescence dual-mode imaging, as well as effectively suppressing tumor growth and metastasis, indicating promising theranostic properties.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
