研究実績の概要 |
We developed a oxidase-loaded nanoreactor that could specifically render tumor cells immunogenic by pyroptosis, a highly pro-inflammatory programmed cell death. Of particular interest, the vesicular system based on PICsomes is highly modular, generic, and simple and could be adapted to customize various kinds of activatable nanoreactors based on triggerable cross-linking membrane networks. As a consequence, the nanoreactor with self-boosting catalytic glucose oxidation could protect oxidase to initiate pyroptosis in the long term. We confirmed that not only glucose oxidase-loaded but also lactate oxidase-loaded nanoreactors could induce pyroptosis. In combination with immunotherapy, the antitumor efficacy has been confirmed.
