Ferroptosis: machinery and regulation

Xin Chen et al.

Summary: Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent, non-apoptotic form of regulated cell death caused by lipid peroxidation. Lipoxygenase is the main promoter of ferroptosis, while GPX4 is the central repressor of this process.

Corn-like Au/Ag nanorod-mediated NIR-II photothermal/photodynamic therapy potentiates immune checkpoint antibody efficacy by reprogramming the cold tumor microenvironment

Liangjie Jin et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the corn-like Au/Ag nanorods, when combined with specific wavelength light irradiation, can induce immunogenic cell death of tumor cells, enhance T cell infiltration into tumors, and reprogram the immunosuppressive cold tumor microenvironment. Moreover, this combined treatment synergizes with immune checkpoint blocking antibodies to efficiently inhibit distant tumor growth and elicit a strong immunological memory effect against tumor recurrence.

Application of glutathione depletion in cancer therapy: Enhanced ROS-based therapy, ferroptosis, and chemotherapy

Boyi Niu et al.

Summary: Glutathione (GSH) plays a crucial role in cellular antioxidative system, particularly in cancer cells, where a high level of GSH is essential for scavenging ROS and detoxifying xenobiotics. Depletion of GSH has been shown to enhance the efficacy of various therapies such as ROS-based therapy, ferroptosis, and chemotherapy. This review comprehensively discusses the importance of GSH depletion in cancer therapy and various strategies employed to achieve it.

Roles of ferroptosis in urologic malignancies

Shankun Zhao et al.

Summary: Ferroptosis is strongly associated with the pathogenesis of multiple urologic malignancies. Various biomolecules and tumor-associated signaling pathways are reported to regulate ferroptosis in these cancers. Ferroptosis inducers show potential therapeutic effects in urologic oncology and could enhance the anticancer response of other drugs.

Targeting immunogenic cancer cell death by photodynamic therapy: past, present and future

Razan Alzeibak et al.

Summary: The past decade has seen significant breakthroughs in cancer immunotherapy, with immunogenic cell death (ICD) emerging as a promising approach to eliminate tumor cells. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can induce ICD, but its efficiency is reduced in hypoxic tumor environments. Future research may focus on strategies like oxygen-boosted PDT and nanotechnology to address this limitation.

Chondroitin sulfate-based nanoparticles for enhanced chemo-photodynamic therapy overcoming multidrug resistance and lung metastasis of breast cancer

Xiaoqun Shi et al.

Summary: The study developed novel redox-responsive chondroitin sulfate-based nanoparticles for enhanced chemo-photodynamic therapy to overcome multidrug resistance and lung metastasis of breast cancer. In vitro experiments showed that the nanoparticles were able to down-regulate P-glycoprotein expression and improve anticancer efficacy. Additionally, NIR laser irradiation induced nanoparticles to generate reactive oxygen species, effectively inhibiting multidrug resistance and metastasis in breast cancer.

A Biomimetic Aggregation-Induced Emission Photosensitizer with Antigen-Presenting and Hitchhiking Function for Lipid Droplet Targeted Photodynamic Immunotherapy

Xiuli Xu et al.

Summary: The biomimetic aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizers with antigen-presenting and hitchhiking abilities (DC@AIEdots) were developed by coating dendritic cell (DC) membranes on the nanoaggregates of the AIEgens. This technique can enhance tumor delivery efficiency by about 1.6 times and stimulate in vivo proliferation and activation of T cells. Additionally, a potential application of therapeutic agents targeting lipid droplets for immunotherapy is indicated, providing a new hitchhiking approach for drug delivery.
