Abstract

Recent advances in nanomedicine have facilitated the development of potent nanomaterials with intrinsic enzyme-like activities (nanozymes) for cancer therapy. However, it remains a great challenge to fabricate smart nanozymes that precisely perform enzymatic activity in tumor microenvironment without inducing off-target toxicity to surrounding normal tissues. Herein, we report on designed fabrication of biodegradation-medicated enzymatic activity-tunable molybdenum oxide nanourchins (MoO 3– x NUs), which selectively perform therapeutic activity in tumor microenvironment via cascade catalytic reactions, while keeping normal tissues unharmed due to their responsive biodegradation in physiological environment. Specifically, the MoO 3– x NUs first induce catalase (CAT)-like reactivity to decompose hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) in tumor microenvironment, producing a considerable amount of O 2 for subsequent oxidase (OXD)-like reactivity of MoO 3– x NUs; a substantial cytotoxic superoxide radical (·O 2 – ) is thus generated for tumor cell apoptosis. Interestingly, once exposed to neutral blood or normal tissues, MoO 3– x NUs rapidly lose the enzymatic activity via pH-responsive biodegradation and are excreted in urine, thus ultimately ensuring safety. The current study demonstrates a proof of concept of biodegradation-medicated in vivo catalytic activity-tunable nanozymes for tumor-specific cascade catalytic therapy with minimal off-target toxicity.

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.
