Abstract
The characteristic hypoxia of solid tumors and inadequate oxygen supply become a key causation of the resistance to chemotherapy in cancer treatment. Herein, a bimetallic oxygen nanogenerator, i.e., porous Au@Pt core-shell nanostructures, is particularly developed to reduce the multidrug resistance by oxygenating the tumor along with synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy for efficient tumor eradication. The porous platinum (Pt) shell was able to catalyze oxygen generation from endogenous hydrogen peroxide in the tumor, reducing the exocytosis of doxorubicin (DOX) via suppressed expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, multidrug resistance gene 1, and P-glycoprotein. The strong absorbance of Au@Pt nanostructures in NIR window II enabled NIR-II photothermal therapy. Further incorporation of DOX into the mesopores of Au@Pt nanostructures with the assistance of phase change materials (PCM) led to the formulation of Au@Pt-DOX-PCM-PEG nanotherapeutics for NIR-II-activated chemotherapy. This work presents an efficient H2O2-driven oxygenerator for enhanced hypoxia-dampened chemotherapy and NIR-II photothermal therapy.
