Tumor microenvironment-responsive MnSiO3-Pt@BSA-Ce6 nanoplatform for synergistic catalysis-enhanced sonodynamic and chemodynamic cancer therapy

Compared with traditional photodynamic therapy (PDT), ultrasound (US) triggered sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has a wide application prospect in tumor therapy because of its deeper penetration depth. Herein, a novel MnSiO3-Pt (MP) nanocomposite composed of MnSiO3 nanosphere and noble metallic Pt was successfully constructed. After modification with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and chlorine e6 (Ce6), the multifunctional nanoplatform MnSiO3[email protected] (MPBC) realized the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided synergetic SDT/chemodynamic therapy (CDT). In this nanoplatform, sonosensitizer Ce6 can generate singlet oxygen (1O2) to kill cancer cells under US irradiation. Meanwhile, the loaded Pt has the ability to catalyze the decomposition of overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in tumor microenvironment (TME) to produce oxygen (O2), which can conquer tumor hypoxia and promote the SDT-induced 1O2 production. In addition, MP can degrade in mildly acidic and reductive TME, causing the release of Mn2+. The released Mn2+ not only can be used for MRI, but also can generate hydroxyl radical (∙OH) for CDT by Fenton-like reaction. The multifunctional nanoplatform MPBC has high biological safety and good anticancer effect, which displays the great latent capacity in biological application.
