Abstract Precise and effective initiation of the apoptotic mechanism in tumor cells is one of the most promising approaches for the treatment of solid tumors. However, current techniques such as high-temperature ablation or gene editing suffer from the risk of damage to adjacent normal tissues. This study proposes a magnetothermal-induced CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system for the targeted knockout of HSP70 and BCL2 genes, thereby enhancing tumor cell apoptosis. The magnetothermal nanoparticulate platform is composed of superparamagnetic ZnCoFe2O4@ZnMnFe2O4 nanoparticles and the modified polyethyleneimine (PEI) and hyaluronic acid (HA) on the surface, on which plasmid DNA can be effectively loaded. Under the induction of a controllable alternating magnetic field, the mild magnetothermal effect (42℃) not only triggers dual-genome editing to disrupt the apoptosis resistance mechanism of tumor cells but also sensitizes tumor cells to apoptosis through the heat effect itself, achieving a synergistic therapeutic effect. This strategy can precisely regulate the activation of the CRISPR-Cas9 system for tumor cell apoptosis without inducing significant damage to healthy tissues, thus providing a new avenue for cancer treatment. |
