【摘要】 Metabolic reprogramming is a mechanism by which cancer cells alter their metabolic patterns to promote cell proliferation and growth, thereby enabling their resistance to external stress. 2-Deoxy-Dglucose(2DG) can eliminate their energy source by inhibiting glucose glycolysis, leading to cancer cell death through starvation. However, a compensatory increase in mitochondrial metabolism inhibits its efficacy. Herein, we propose a synergistic approach that combines photodynamic therapy(PDT) with starvation therapy to address this challenge. To monitor the nanodrugs and determine the optimal triggering time for precise tumor therapy, a multifunctional nano-platform comprising lanthanide-doped nanoparticle(Ln NP) cores was constructed and combined with mesoporous silicon shells loaded with2DG and photosensitizer chlorin e6(Ce6) in the mesopore channels. Under 980 nm near-infrared light excitation, the downshifted 1550 nm fluorescence signal in the second near-infrared(NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) window from the Ln NPs was used to monitor the accumulation of nanomaterials in tumors.Furthermore, upconverted 650 nm light excited the Ce6 to generate singlet oxygen for PDT, which damaged mitochondrial function and enhanced the efficacy of 2DG by inhibiting hexokinase 2 and lactate dehydrogenase A expressions. As a result, glucose metabolism reprogramming was inhibited and the efficiency of starvation therapy was significantly enhanced. Overall, the proposed NIR-II bioimaging-guided PDT-augmented starvation therapy, which simultaneously inhibited glycolysis and mitochondria, facilitated the effects of a cancer theranostic system.更多还原
