Biocomputation with MnTiO3 Piezoelectric Enzymes for Programed Catalysis of Tumor Death.

Abstract

Catalytic nanomedicine, especially artificial enzymes, exhibit obvious merits over traditional nanomedicine. However, the lack of controllability over an enzymatic process seriously challenges the therapeutic performance. Herein, we present a concept of using piezoelectric enzymes in combination with biocomputation ability. As a paradigm, MnTiO3 nanodisks were prepared with multiple enzyme-mimicking activity, including glutathione oxidase, peroxidase, and catalase. Different from the conventional artificial enzymes, the enzymatic activity of MnTiO3 nanodisks was activated by ultrasound and switched by a tumor microenvironment, which allows precise control over enzymatic catalysis in tumors. By virtue of the multiple artificial enzyme activity of MnTiO3 nanodisks, a biocomputing platform was constructed based on a Boolean logic-based algorithm. With ultrasound and tumor microenvironment as input signals, cytotoxicity was output via logic-based biocomputation for programed tumor killing. The concept of piezoelectric enzymes together with a biocomputation strategy provides an intelligent and effective approach for catalytic tumor eradication.
