Traditional chemo-immunotherapy can elicit T cell immune response by inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD), however, insufficient ICD limits the lasting antitumor immunotherapeutic efficacy. Herein, tadpole-ovoid manganese-doped hollow mesoporous silica coated gold nanoparticles (Au@HMnMSNs) as biodegradable catalytic cascade nanoreactors are constructed to generate intratumoral high-toxic hydroxyl radicals combined with DOX and Aspirin (ASA) for enhancing the induction of ICD and maturation of dendritic cells (DCs). The released Mn2+ can catalyze endogenous H2 O2 to hydroxyl radicals, while internal gold nanoparticles mimetic glucose oxidase (GOx) converted glucose into H2 O2 to accelerate the generation of hydroxyl radicals. On the other hand, tadpole oval-structured Au@HMnMSNs can avoid the inactivation of gold nanoparticles due to strong protein adsorption. The introduction of ASA is to recruit DCs and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) to tumor sites and restrain the intratumoral infiltration of immunosuppressive cells by decreasing the expression of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 ). Accordingly, this work presents a novel insight to introduce GOx-like catalytic cascade ICD nano-inducer into antitumor immunotherapy for synergistic tumor therapy.
