A hydrogen peroxide economizer for on-demand oxygen production-assisted robust sonodynamic immunotherapy.

ABSTRACT: The outcome of sonodynamic immunotherapy is significantly limited by tumor hypoxia. To overcome this obstacle, one common solution is to catalyze the conversion of endogenous H₂O₂ into O₂. However, the effectiveness of this strategy is limited by the insufficient concentration of H₂O₂ in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, we developed a H₂O₂ economizer for on-demand O₂ supply and sonosensitizer-mediated reactive oxygen species production during ultrasound activation, thereby alleviating hypoxia-associated limitations and augmenting the efficacy of sonodynamic immunotherapy. Methods: The H₂O₂ economizer is constructed by electrostatic adsorption and π-π interactions between the Fe-doped polydiaminopyridine (Fe-PDAP) nanozyme and chlorin e6. By employing a biomimetic engineering strategy with cancer cell membranes, we addressed the premature leakage issue and increased tumor-site accumulation of nanoparticles (membrane-coated Fe-PDAP/Ce6, MFC). Results: The prepared MFC could significantly attenuate the catalytic activity of Fe-PDAP by reducing their contact with H₂O₂. Ultrasound irradiation promoted MFC dissociation and the exposure of Fe-PDAP for a more robust O₂ supply. Moreover, the combination of MFC-enhanced sonodynamic therapy with anti-programmed cell death protein-1 antibody (aPD-1) immune checkpoint blockade induced a strong antitumor response against both primary tumors and distant tumors. Conclusion: This as-prepared H₂O₂ economizer significantly alleviates tumor hypoxia via reducing H₂O₂ expenditure and that on-demand oxygen-elevated sonodynamic immunotherapy can effectively combat tumors.

Project description:Microgels that can generate antipathogenic levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) through simple rehydration in solutions with physiological pH are described herein. H2O2 is a widely used disinfectant but the oxidant is hazardous to store and transport. Catechol, an adhesive moiety found in mussel adhesive proteins, was incorporated into microgels, which generated 1-5?mM of H2O2 for up to four days as catechol autoxidized. The sustained release of low concentrations of H2O2 was antimicrobial against both gram-positive (Staphylococcus epidermidis) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria and antiviral against both non-enveloped porcine parvovirus (PPV) and enveloped bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). The amount of released H2O2 is several orders of magnitude lower than H2O2 concentration previously reported for antipathogenic activity. Most notably, these microgels reduced the infectivity of the more biocide resistant non-envelope virus by 3 log reduction value (99.9% reduction in infectivity). By controlling the oxidation state of catechol, microgels can be repeatedly activated and deactivated for H2O2 generation. These microgels do not contain a reservoir for storing the reactive H2O2 and can potentially function as a lightweight and portable dried powder source for the disinfectant for a wide range of applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Researchers have designed bioadhesives and coatings using the adhesive moiety catechol to mimic the strong adhesion capability of mussel adhesive proteins. During catechol autoxidation, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is generated as a byproduct. Here, catechol was incorporated into microgels, which can generate millimolar levels of H2O2 by simply hydrating the microgels in a solution with physiological pH. The sustained release of H2O2 was both antimicrobial and antiviral, inactivating even the more biocide resistant non-enveloped virus. These microgels can be repeatedly activated and deactivated for H2O2 generation by incubating them in solutions with different pH. This simplicity and recyclability will enable this biomaterial to function as a lightweight and portable source for the disinfectant for a wide range of applications.
