Abstract
Copper has emerged as a promising target for cancer therapy, with extensive studies on copper accumulation-induced cuproptosis. However, the potential of copper depletion-induced cuproptosis remains largely unexplored. Recently, Zhou et al. (M. Zhou, F. Muhammad, Y. Zhang, T. Li, J. Feng, J. Zhao and H. Wei, Chem. Sci., 2025, https://doi.org/10.1039/D4SC04712E) reported an innovative strategy for copper depletion-based cuproptosis. Notably, this approach leverages the solubility product principle, a mechanism not previously addressed in studies, to achieve effective tumor therapy through the disruption of copper homeostasis.
随着对铜积累诱导的杯突症的广泛研究,铜已成为一种很有前景的癌症治疗靶标。然而,铜耗竭诱导的杯突症的潜力在很大程度上仍未得到探索。最近,Zhou 等人(M. Zhou, F. Muhammad, Y. Zhang, T. Li, J. Feng, J. Zhao and H. Wei, Chem.Sci.,2025,https://doi.org/10.1039/D4SC04712E)报道了一种基于铜耗竭的杯突变创新策略。值得注意的是,这种方法利用了溶度积原理--一种以前的研究中从未涉及的机制--通过破坏铜的平衡来实现有效的肿瘤治疗。
期刊介绍:
Chemical Science is a journal that encompasses various disciplines within the chemical sciences. Its scope includes publishing ground-breaking research with significant implications for its respective field, as well as appealing to a wider audience in related areas. To be considered for publication, articles must showcase innovative and original advances in their field of study and be presented in a manner that is understandable to scientists from diverse backgrounds. However, the journal generally does not publish highly specialized research.
