Chemodynamic therapy is a promising tumor treatment strategy. However, it remains a great challenge to overcome the unavoidable off-target damage towards normal tissues. In our work we discover that magnetoferritin (M-HFn, biomimic peroxidase) can form nanocomplexes with glucose oxidase (GOD) in the presence of glucose, thus inhibiting the enzyme activity of GOD. Interestingly, GOD&M-HFn (G-M) nanocomplexes can dissociate under near-infrared (NIR) laser, reactivating the enzyme cascade. Based on our new finding, a spatiotemporally controllable biocatalytic cascade in RBC nanovesicles (G-M@RBC-A) is fabricated for precise tumor therapy, which in situ inhibits enzyme cascade between GOD and M-HFn during blood circulation and reactivates the cascade activity in tumor site by NIR laser irradiation. In RBC nanovesicles, GOD is grabbed by M-HFn to form G-M nanocomplexes in the presence of glucose, thus inhibiting Fenton reaction and reducing side effect. However, after NIR laser irradiation, G-M nanocomplexes are spatiotemporally dissociated and the cascade activity is reactivated in tumor site, initiating ROS damage to cancer cells in vivo. Therefore, our work provides a new insight on fabrication of spatiotemporally controllable biocatalytic cascade for precise cancer therapy in the future. This article is protected by copyright.
