Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a key factor for generating antitumor immunity. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress triggers the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), thus inducing immunogenicity. We developed a polypeptide-based K ionophore that perturbed ion homeostasis and elicited a prolonged ER stress. The ER stress not only fosters an oxidative environment that activates mitochondria-dependent apoptosis pathways but also drives immune responses by releasing DAMPs. The ionophore suppressed tumor proliferation in vitro and in vivo based on the pro-apoptotic activity and immunogenicity.

Intracellular copper ion homeostasis has become an attractive target for cancer therapy. Herein, we report a 2,2'-dipicolylamine (DPA) functionalized polyglutamate derivative (PDHB) which is capable of rapidly forming PDHB-copper complex (PDHB@Cu) due to the strong coordination ability of pendant DPA with Cu. High drug loading content of doxorubicin (DOX) (>30 wt %) is realized due to the strong affinity of Cu to DOX, while that is about 10 wt % for PDHB without Cu.

Although ionophores have been intensively used as an ion homeostasis disturber, the mechanisms of cell death are unclear and the bioapplicability is limited. In this study, helical polypeptide-based potassium ionophores are developed to induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated apoptosis.
