Photothermally Reinforced Nanozyme Remodeling Tumor Microenvironment of Redox and Metabolic Homeostasis to Enhance Ferroptosis in Tumor Therapy

The acidity and high GSH level in the tumor microenvironment (TME) greatly limit the antitumor activity of nanozymes. Thus, enhancing nanozymes' activity is fundamentally challenging in tumor therapy. Although the combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and nanozymes can enhance the catalytic activity, cancer cells will overexpress heat shock proteins (HSPs) at high temperature, aggravating the heat resistance of tumor cells, which in turn compromises the outcome of chemodynamic therapy. Herein, we propose an iron-doped metal-organic framework nanozyme (IB@Fe-ZIF8@PDFA) that can be activated under the weak acidity and high level of GSH, demonstrating the activities of GSH oxidation (GSH-OXD), peroxidase (POD), and NADH oxidase (NADH-OXD). Under laser irradiation, it displays photothermal-enhanced multienzyme activities to simultaneously eliminate tumors and inhibit tumor metastasis. While consuming endogenous GSH, IB@Fe-ZIF8@PDFA promotes the decomposition of H
