Article Title: Pancreatic Cancer-Targeting Cascade Nanoamplifier Enables Self-Replenishing H 2 O 2 Generation and Autophagy Disruption in Chemodynamic Therapy
Journal: Pharmaceutics

Figure Legend Snippet: Schematic illustration of the construction of H-MnO 2 /GOX&CQ-iRGD and its mechanism of action in pancreatic tumor chemodynamic therapy. The iRGD peptide mediates nanoparticle penetration through the dense stromal barrier. In the acidic TME, sequential degradation releases Mn 2+ , O 2 , GOX, and CQ. GOX catalyzes glucose oxidation to generate H 2 O 2 , which reacts with Mn 2+ via Fenton chemistry to produce hydroxyl radicals (∙OH), to enhance the chemodynamic effect and induce tumor cell death. Concurrently, oxidative damage may trigger protective autophagy in tumor cells, which is effectively suppressed by CQ through inhibition of autolysosomal degradation, thereby reducing tumor cell resistance to CDT and further amplifying the therapeutic efficacy.
Techniques Used: Inhibition, Drug discovery
Figure Legend Snippet: Construction and physicochemical characterization of H-MnO 2 /GOX&CQ-iRGD.

Figure Legend Snippet: In vivo targeting and therapeutic efficacy of H-MnO 2 /GOX&CQ-iRGD in a pancreatic cancer mouse model. ( A ) Fluorescence imaging and quantitative ROI analysis of Cy7-labeled H-MnO 2 /GOX&CQ-iRGD showing tumor accumulation over 24 h ( n = 3). ( B ) Representative images of tumor-bearing mice after 20 days of treatment. ( C ) Kaplan–Meier survival curves for each group. ( D , E ) Body weight ( D ) and tumor volume ( E ) changes during the 28-day treatment. Tumor volumes were analyzed by two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test; survival was analyzed using the log-rank (Gehan–Breslow–Wilcoxon) test. Statistical significance: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001. Treatment groups: (1) Control, (2) H-MnO 2 -iRGD, (3) H-MnO 2 /GOX-iRGD, (4) H-MnO 2 /CQ-iRGD, and (5) H-MnO 2 /GOX&CQ-iRGD.
