Immunogenic cell death (ICD)-associated immunogenicity can be evoked through reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced via endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. In this study, we generate a double ER-targeting strategy to realize photodynamic therapy (PDT) photothermal (PTT) immunotherapy. This nanosystem consists of pardaxin (FAL) peptides modified-, indocyanine green (ICG) conjugated- hollow gold nanospheres (FAL-ICG-HAuNS), together with an oxygen-delivering hemoglobin (Hb) liposome (FAL-Hb...

Blocking the HER2 signaling pathway has been an effective strategy in treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer. It mainly relies on use monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine-kinase inhibitors. Herein, we present a new strategy, nano molecularly imprinted polymer (nanoMIP). The nanoMIPs, using N-glycans, could bind almost all glycans suppress dimerization with other HER family members, blocking downstream pathways, thereby inhibiting HER2+ cancer growth. In vitro experiments demonstrated that...

A convenient and feasible therapeutic strategy for malignant metastatic tumors was constructed here by combining photothermal ablation (PTA)-based laser immunotherapy with perdurable PD-1 blockade immunotherapy. Hollow gold nanoshells (HAuNS, a agent) AUNP12 (an anti peptide, APP) were co-encapsulated into poly(lactic- co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) nanoparticles. Unlike monoclonal PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies, peptide inhibitor shows lower cost immunotoxicity but needs frequent administration due to its...

Loss of WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (Wwox) expression has been observed in breast cancer (BC). However, its regulatory effects are largely unknown, especially triple-negative (TNBC). Herein, gene profiling revealed that JAK/STAT3 pathway was one the most differentially modulated pathways basal-like BC cells. The lower Wwox significantly correlated with high activation STAT3 cells and TNBC tissues. Overexpression markedly inhibited proliferation metastasis by suppressing activation,...

Both photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic (PDT) are phototherapeutic approaches, which have been widely investigated for cancer mediated by an external light source. Here, a nanosystem presenting the synchronous PTT PDT effect realized through one-step near-infrared (NIR) irradiation is reported. This system was fabricated conjugating indocyanine green (ICG) on hollow gold nanospheres (HAuNS) using branched-polyethylenimine (PEI, MW = 10 kDa) as optimal linker, provided high ICG...

Photosensitizer, proper laser irradiation, and oxygen are essential components for effective photodynamic therapy (PDT) in clinical cancer therapy. However, native hypoxic tumoral microenvironment is a major barrier hindering reactions vivo. Thus, we have prepared biocompatible liposomes by loading complexes of oxygen-carrier (hemoglobin, Hb) photosensitizer (indocyanine green, ICG) enhanced PDT against tumor. Ideal donor Hb, which an oxygen-carried protein red blood cells, makes such...

Abstract Protein drugs targeting intracellular machineries have shown profound therapeutic potentials, but their clinical utilities are greatly hampered by the lack of efficient cytosolic delivery techniques. Existing strategies mainly rely on nanocarriers or conjugated cell‐penetrating peptides (CPPs), which often drawbacks such as materials complexity/toxicity, cell specificity, and endolysosomal entrapment. Herein, a unique carrier‐free approach is reported for mediating cancer‐selective...
