Although much progress has been made by multifunctional nanoplatforms in the treatment of cancer, several defects of existing nanoplatforms, such as tedious preparation, poor biocompatibility, and failure to activate the immune system, have limited their clinical applications. Herein, a versatile nanosystem of folic acid‐modified metal‐phenolic networks (MPNs) loaded with GOx and CHA (F‐MGC) is fabricated by the easy self‐assembly of MPNs, during which glucose oxidase (GOx) and chlorogenic acid (CHA) are concurrently loaded. The resulting nanosystem, having a folic acid‐modified surface and inherent acid sensitivity, shows versatility in being able to target tumors and release active ingredients in the weakly acidic tumor microenvironment (TME). Based on the catalysis of GOx and Fe3+, the cascade reaction aroused by F‐MGC efficiently consumes glucose in the TME and produces abundant cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals, thereby causing the starving and chemodynamic death of cancer cells. In addition, CHA can reshape M2 tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) into the M1 type, so as to change the immunosuppressive state of TME. The immunogenic cell death (ICD) that occurs from the starvation and chemodynamic therapy, in conjunction with the CHA‐induced TAMs polarization, further activates the immune system. Overall, the easily prepared nanoplatform has excellent biocompatibility and effectively inhibits tumor growth and metastasis.
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.
