Multifunctional Au@AgBiS2 Nanoparticles as High‐Efficiency Radiosensitizers to Induce Pyroptosis for Cancer Radioimmunotherapy
Radiotherapy (RT), a widely used clinical treatment modality for cancer, uses high‐energy irradiation for reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and DNA damage. However, its therapeutic effect is primarily limited owing to insufficient DNA damage to tumors and harmful effects on normal tissues. Herein, a core‐shell structure of metal–semiconductors (Au@AgBiS2 nanoparticles) that can function as pyroptosis inducers to both kill cancer cells directly and trigger a robust anti‐tumor immune against 4T1 triple‐negative murine breast cancer and metastasis is rationally designed. Metal‐semiconductor composites can enhance the generation of considerable ROS and simultaneously DNA damage for RT sensitization. Moreover, Au@AgBiS2, a pyroptosis inducer, induces caspase‐3 protein activation, gasdermin E cleavage, and the release of damage‐associated molecular patterns. In vivo studies in BALB/c mice reveal that Au@AgBiS2 nanoparticles combined with RT exhibit remarkable antitumor immune activity, preventing tumor growth, and lung metastasis. Therefore, this core‐shell structure is an alternative for designing highly effective radiosensitizers for radioimmunotherapy.
