Abstract

Abstract Increasing cellular immunogenicity and reshaping the immune tumor microenvironment (TME) are crucial for antitumor immunotherapy. Herein, this work develops a novel single‐atom nanozyme pyroptosis initiator: UK5099 and pyruvate oxidase (POx)‐co‐loaded Cu‐NS single‐atom nanozyme (Cu‐NS@UK@POx), that not only trigger pyroptosis through cascade biocatalysis to boost the immunogenicity of tumor cells, but also remodel the immunosuppressive TME by targeting pyruvate metabolism. By replacing N with weakly electronegative S, the original spatial symmetry of the Cu‐N 4 electron distribution is changed and the enzyme‐catalyzed process is effectively regulated. Compared to spatially symmetric Cu‐N 4 single‐atom…
