Abstract

The efficacy of phototherapy is dependent on intracellular O2 concentration and NIR harvest. Here, a simple nanoplatform with nanoenzyme mediated phototherapy enhances anticancer capacity. Mn-CoS@carbon (CMS/C) di-shell hollow nanospheres (50nm) are synthesized successfully through two-step consecutive Kirkendall process. The nanoheterostructure reveals the higher near-infrared (NIR) light absorption and photothermal conversion rate of 66.3% than pure CoS (45.5%), owing to the decreased band gap and multi-reflection of incident light in the hollow structure. And CMS/C reveals the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and nanoenzyme activities (mimic peroxidase and catalase) that are 6 and 2 times than those of pure CoS. Furthermore, the nanoenzyme exhibits NIR-enhanced abilities to produce more OH and O2 facilitating anticancer. In addition, it also depletes glutathione (mimicking glutathione oxidase), to disturb intracellular redox-homeostasis, boosting the increase of oxidative stress. With grafting bovine serum albumin (BSA) and drug loading, CMS/C@BSA-Dox integrated multi-therapy make the great anticancer effect in vitro and vivo. After that, the nanocomposite could be biodegraded and eliminated via urinary and feces within 14days. Based on this work, the efficient charge-separation can be designed to reveal high performance nanoenzymes as well as photosensitizers for anticancer.
