Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by rapid tumor growth and resistance to cancer therapy, and has a poor prognosis. Accumulating data have revealed that cancer metabolism relies on both the Warburg effect and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), which are strongly related to the high proliferation and chemoresistance of cancer cells. Phototherapy is considered as a non-invasive method to precisely control drug activity with reduced side effects. Herein, our group introduced an Abraxane-like nanoplatform, named LCIR NPs, which significantly eradicates cancer cells via synergism between metabolic reprogramming and phototherapy effects. Endowed with mitochondria-targeting residues, the nanoparticles efficiently inhibited mitochondrial complexes I and IV as well as hexokinase II, leading to the depletion of intracellular ATP. Consequently, the photodynamic and photothermal effect triggered by NIR irradiation was enhanced due to the alleviation of hypoxia and the thermoresistance mechanism that rely on mitochondrial metabolism. In vivo experiments showed that the tumor size of mice that received the combination treatment was only 50.7 mm3, which was 21 times smaller than that of the untreated group and was much lower than those of other single treatments after 21 days. Additionally, almost no systemic undesired toxicity was detected during the observation period. We believe that the concept of LCIR as presented here offers a potential platform to overcome the resistance to conventional therapies by the incorporation with the energy metabolism inhibition approach.
