Abstract

Activating the strong immune system is a key initiative to counteract dormant tumors and prevent recurrence. Herein, self-destructive and multienzymatically active copper-quinone-GOx nanoparticles (abbreviated as CQG NPs) have been designed to induce harmonious and balanced pyroptosis and cuproptosis using the "Tai Chi mindset" to awaken the immune response for suppressing dormant and recurrent tumors. This cleverly designed material can disrupt the antioxidant defense mechanism of tumor cells by inhibiting the nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) signaling pathway. Furthermore, combined with its excellent multienzyme activity, it activates NOD-like receptor…
