Metal‐Phenolic Nanomaterial with Organelle‐Level Precision Primes Antitumor Immunity via mtDNA‐dependent cGAS‐STING Activation

New generation of nanomaterials with organelle-level precision provide significant promise for targeted attacks on mitochondria, exhibiting remarkable therapeutic potency. Here, we report a novel amphiphilic phenolic polymer (PF) for the mitochondria-targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT), which can trigger excessive mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage by the synergistic action of oxidative stress and furan-mediated DNA cross-linking. Moreover, the phenolic units on PF enable further self-assembly with Mn<sup>2+</sup> via metal-phenolic coordination to form metal-phenolic nanomaterial (PFM). We focus on the synergistic activation of the cGAS-STING pathway by Mn<sup>2+</sup> and tumor-derived mtDNA in tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), and subsequently repolarizing M2-like TAMs to M1 phenotype. We highlight that PFM facilitates the cGAS-STING-dependent immunity at the organelle level for potent antitumor efficacy.

Abstract

New generation of nanomaterials with organelle-level precision provide significant promise for targeted attacks on mitochondria, exhibiting remarkable therapeutic potency. Here, we report a novel amphiphilic phenolic polymer (PF) for the mitochondria-targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT), which can trigger excessive mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage by the synergistic action of oxidative stress and furan-mediated DNA cross-linking. Moreover, the phenolic units on PF enable further self-assembly with Mn<sup>2+</sup> via metal-phenolic coordination to form metal-phenolic nanomaterial (PFM). We focus on the synergistic activation of the cGAS-STING pathway by Mn<sup>2+</sup> and tumor-derived mtDNA in tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), and subsequently repolarizing M2-like TAMs to M1 phenotype. We highlight that PFM facilitates the cGAS-STING-dependent immunity at the organelle level for potent antitumor efficacy.
