Porphyrin oriented bimetallic sonodynamic MOF for enhanced ferroptosis and cGAS-STING pathway mediated antitumor immunotherapy

and ROS inflict mitochondrial damage and cause cytosolic double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) leakage, thereby activating the cGAS-STING signaling pathway and amplifying type I interferon (IFN-I) responses. This dual immunometabolic modulation induces immunogenic cell death (ICD), promotes dendritic cells (DCs) maturation, and strengthens adaptive antitumor immunity. Overall, this study presents a concise strategy coupling ferroptosis induction with innate-immune activation through a porphyrinic bimetallic MOF, offering a promising direction for SDT-based immunotherapy against hard-to-treat tumors.
