MnOOH-Catalyzed Autoxidation of Glutathione for Reactive Oxygen Species Production and Nanocatalytic Tumor Innate Immunotherapy.

The antioxidant system, signed with reduced glutathione (GSH) overexpression, is the key weapon for tumor to resist the attack by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Counteracting the ROS depletion by GSH is an effective strategy to guarantee the antitumor efficacy of nanocatalytic therapy. However, simply reducing the concentration of GSH does not sufficiently improve tumor response to nanocatalytic therapy intervention. Herein, a well-dispersed MnOOH nanocatalyst is developed to catalyze GSH autoxidation and peroxidase-like reaction concurrently and respectively to promote GSH depletion and H2O2 decomposition to produce abundant ROS such as hydroxyl radical (·OH), thereby generating a highly effective superadditive catalytic therapeutic efficacy. Such a therapeutic strategy that transforms endogenous "antioxidant" into "oxidant" may open a new avenue for the development of antitumor nanocatalytic medicine. Moreover, the released Mn2+ can activate and sensitize the cGAS-STING pathway to the damaged intratumoral DNA double-strands induced by the produced ROS to further promote macrophage maturation and M1-polarization, which will boost the innate immunotherapeutic efficacy. Resultantly, the developed simple MnOOH nanocatalytic medicine capable of simultaneously catalyzing GSH depletion and ROS generation, and mediating innate immune activation, holds great potential in the treatment of malignant tumors.
