High Intensity Focused Ultrasound‐Driven Nanomotor for Effective Ferroptosis‐Immunotherapy of TNBC

The heterogeneity of triple‐negative breast cancers (TNBC) remains challenging for various treatments. Ferroptosis, a recently identified form of cell death resulting from the unrestrained peroxidation of phospholipids, represents a potential vulnerability in TNBC.

Description
Summary:The heterogeneity of triple‐negative breast cancers (TNBC) remains challenging for various treatments. Ferroptosis, a recently identified form of cell death resulting from the unrestrained peroxidation of phospholipids, represents a potential vulnerability in TNBC. In this study, a high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)‐driven nanomotor is developed for effective therapy of TNBC through induction of ferroptosis. Through bioinformatics analysis of typical ferroptosis‐associated genes in the FUSCCTNBC dataset, gambogic acid is identified as a promising ferroptosis drug and loaded it into the nanomotor. It is found that the rapid motion of nanomotors propelled by HIFU significantly enhanced tumor accumulation and penetration. More importantly, HIFU not only actuated nanomotors to trigger effective ferroptosis of TNBC cells, but also drove nanomotors to activate ferroptosis‐mediated antitumor immunity in primary and metastatic TNBC models, resulting in effective tumor regression and prevention of metastases. Overall, HIFU‐driven nanomotors show great potential for ferroptosis‐immunotherapy of TNBC. Triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) poses a significant treatment challenge due to its heterogeneous nature. Researchers have developed a nanomotor powered by high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver a ferroptosis drug, which is identified through bioinformatics analysis. This HIFU‐responsive nanomotor is able to trigger ferroptosis, activate the immune system, reduce tumor growth, and prevent metastasis in TNBC models.
