Radiotherapy (RT) is one of the important clinical treatments for local control of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), but radioresistance still exists. Ferroptosis has been recognized as a natural barrier for cancer progression and represents a significant role of RT-mediated anticancer effects, while the simultaneous activation of ferroptosis defensive system during RT limits the synergistic effect between RT and ferroptosis. Herein, we engineered a tumor microenvironment (TME) degradable nanohybrid with a dual radiosensitization manner to combine ferroptosis induction and high- Z effect based on metal–organic frameworks for ferroptosis-augmented RT of TNBC. The encapsulated l -buthionine-sulfoximine (BSO) could inhibit glutathione (GSH) biosynthesis for glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) inactivation to break down the ferroptosis defensive system, and the delivered ferrous ions could act as a powerful ferroptosis executor via triggering the Fenton reaction; the combination of them induces potent ferroptosis, which could synergize with the surface decorated Gold (Au) NPs-mediated radiosensitization to improve RT efficacy. In vivo antitumor results revealed that the nanohybrid could significantly improve the therapeutic efficacy and antimetastasis efficiency based on the combinational mechanism between ferroptosis and RT. This work thus demonstrated that combining RT with efficient ferroptosis induction through nanotechnology was a feasible and promising strategy for TNBC tre...
