Ferroptosis, characterized by iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation (LPO), can avoid the intrinsic apoptotic resistance of tumor cells and have been explored for glioblastoma (GBM) therapy. However, the direct delivery of iron species may trigger severe adverse side effects. Using nonferrous species to induce LPO‐mediated ferroptosis maybe a promising strategy for GBM treatment, but there is still no report till now. Therefore, in this study, first an intelligent blood–brain barrier (BBB)‐permeable nanoplatform (PCN‐224@Au/CeO2‐Lf) is constructed for efficient nonferrous ferroptosis‐involved orthotopic GBM therapy. Porous coordination network‐224 nanoparticles (PCN‐224 NPs) are served as sonosensitizers for sonodynamic therapy (SDT). In situ growth of small Au NPs with glucose oxidase (GOx)‐mimic activity and CeO2 NPs with peroxidase (POD)‐ and catalase (CAT)‐mimic abilities are applied for H2O2 self‐supplement, more acidic microenvironment, and generation of cytotoxic hydroxyl radical (·OH) and O2, which improves the efficacy of SDT. Besides, Ce4+‐mediated glutathione (GSH) depletion further promotes ferroptosis and apoptosis. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst and GSH consumption‐related glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) deactivation promote the accumulation of LPO, leading to significant nonferrous ferroptosis, which can effectively shrink the orthotopic GBM. These findings first demonstrate the nonferrous ferroptosis strategy for efficient GBM treatment.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
