In vitro and in vivo findings reveal nanoparticles with carboplatin and hyaluronic acid enhance tumor suppression, indicating a new direction in ovarian cancer management.
Ovarian cancer (OC) is a prevalent malignant tumor that poses a significant threat to women's health. Conventional chemotherapeutic agents, such as carboplatin, are associated with several limitations, including notable side effects and the emergence of drug resistance. Carboplatin (CBP) and hyaluronic acid (HA) were subsequently loaded into nanoparticles through incubation to construct targeted nanoparticles (210.3 nm, -31.2 mV) capable of delivering both chemotherapy and chemodynamic therapy. In vitro experiments demonstrated that these nanoparticles enhanced ROS generation through enzyme-like activity and induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) by releasing damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), such as ATP and HMGB1. In vivo animal studies revealed that the nanoparticles predominantly accumulated at the tumor site within 24 hours and significantly suppressed tumor growth by activating the cGAS-STING pathway. These findings indicate that the CBP@HMnO2@HA nanoparticles exhibit potent chemotherapeutic and chemodynamic properties, along with strong catalytic activity. This study presents a promising nanotechnology-based strategy for cancer therapy.
