Simultaneous targeting and suppression of heat shock protein 60 to overcome heat resistance and induce mitochondrial death of tumor cells in photothermal immunotherapy

As the most aggressive and metastatic subtype of breast cancer, clinical demands of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) have far not been met. Heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) is over expressed in tumor cells and impair the efficacy of photothermal therapy. In this work, a conjugate composed of self-d...

description As the most aggressive and metastatic subtype of breast cancer, clinical demands of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) have far not been met. Heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) is over expressed in tumor cells and impair the efficacy of photothermal therapy. In this work, a conjugate composed of self-designed peptide targeting HSP60 and gold nanorods was constructed, referred to as AuNR-P17. Results showed that AuNR-P17 was able to simultaneously down regulate the level of HSP60 and locate in the mitochondria where HSP60 is enriched in the tumor cells of TNBC, which also impeded the interaction between HSP60 and integrin α3, thereby reducing the tumor cells' heat tolerance and metastatic capabilities. At the same time, AuNR-P17 induced remarkable mitochondrial apoptosis when exposed to the laser irradiation of 808 nm. The dual functions of AuNR-P17 led to the decrement of BCL-2 and the activation of p53 and cleaved caspase-3. The danger associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) generated from the mitochondrial apoptosis elicited strong and long-term specific immune responses against TNBC in vivo and ultimately inhibited the tumor metastasis and recurrence with significantly prolonged survival (>100 days) on TNBC mice. In conclusion, this study demonstrated HSP60 a promising potential therapeutic target for triple negative breast cancer and exhibited powerful capacity of AuNR-P17 in photothermal immune therapy.
