Targeting Xkr8 via nanoparticle-mediated in situ co-delivery of siRNA and chemotherapy drugs for cancer immunochemotherapy

Yuang Chen et al.

Summary: The activation of scramblases, a mechanism that regulates the exposure of phosphatidylserine on cell surfaces, plays an important role in tumor immunosuppression. In this study, the researchers found that chemotherapeutic agents induce overexpression of a specific scramblase, Xkr8, in cancer cells. They developed a nanocarrier that can deliver Xkr8 short interfering RNA and a cancer prodrug to tumors, leading to significant inhibition of tumor growth and increased antitumor immune response in animal models. Targeting Xkr8 in combination with chemotherapy may be a promising strategy for treating different types of cancers.

Microneedle-Assisted Transdermal Delivery of 2D Bimetallic Metal-Organic Framework Nanosheet-Based Cascade Biocatalysts for Enhanced Catalytic Therapy of Melanoma

Jiajie Chen et al.

Summary: Current conventional treatments for malignant melanoma have limitations, and more effective strategies are urgently needed. In this study, a novel therapeutic strategy against melanoma was developed using biocompatible microneedles to deliver 2D metal-organic framework nanosheets as cascade biocatalysts. The nanosheets triggered specific cascade catalytic reactions in response to the acidic tumor microenvironment, leading to the death of melanoma cells and exhibiting a promising approach for melanoma therapy.

Co-Delivery of Precisely Prescribed Multi-Prodrug Combination by an Engineered Nanocarrier enables Efficient Individualized Cancer Chemotherapy

Yuqiang Li et al.

Summary: The limited availability of anticancer drugs and drug resistance have made monotherapy-based cancer therapy challenging. Combination therapy using currently available drugs is a potential alternative, but the barrier between in vitro screening and in vivo delivery hinders its application. This study proposes a precise drug delivery strategy using engineered nanomedicine to overcome this limitation and facilitate individualized combination therapy.

Multifunctional Lipid Bilayer Nanocarriers for Cancer Immunotherapy in Heterogeneous Tumor Microenvironments, Combining Immunogenic Cell Death Stimuli with Immune Modulatory Drugs

Andre E. Nel et al.

Summary: In addition to cancer cells, the tumor microenvironment plays a crucial role in tumor expansion, antitumor immunity, and the response to immunotherapy. The use of multifunctional nanocarriers for delivering drug combinations can improve immunotherapy outcomes by providing immunogenic stimuli and intervening in immune-escape pathways.

Enzyme-Engineered Conjugated Polymer Nanoplatform for Activatable Companion Diagnostics and Multistage Augmented Synergistic Therapy

Jiayingzi Wu et al.

Summary: This study presents a glucose oxidase-engineered nanoplatform for activatable imaging-based companion diagnostics and multistage augmented photothermal/starvation synergistic therapy. The nanoplatform utilizes a pH-activatable conjugated polymer as a photothermal converter and photoacoustic emitter, glucose oxidase as a cancer starvation inducer, and a H2O2-cleavable linker as a switch for enzyme activity. The in vivo imaging and therapy abilities are activated by the acidic tumor microenvironment and self-augmented by the reaction between glucose oxidase and glucose.

Nanocatalytic Theranostics with Glutathione Depletion and Enhanced Reactive Oxygen Species Generation for Efficient Cancer Therapy

Lian-Hua Fu et al.

Summary: Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a promising method for killing cancer cells by converting intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into highly toxic hydroxyl radicals ((OH)-O-center dot). An intelligent nanocatalytic theranostics, PGC-DOX, was developed to address the limitations of endogenous H2O2 and high GSH levels in tumor cells, leading to efficient cancer therapy. The system combines H2O2 self-supply, GSH-elimination, and DOX-induced chemotherapy to effectively inhibit tumor growth with minimal side effects in vivo.

The metabolism of cancer cells during metastasis

Gabriele Bergers et al.

Summary: This review discusses the metabolic rewiring in cancer cells during the metastatic cascade and the distinct metabolic features of primary tumors and metastases. Metastasis is the leading cause of death in most cancer patients, and targeting metastatic seeding and colonization remains a significant challenge. Adjusting metabolism may provide therapeutic opportunities to prevent or reduce metastasis, and targeting the new metabolic traits in established metastases could lead to their eradication.
