Radiotherapy-induced immune activation holds great promise for optimizing cancer treatment efficacy. Here, we describe a clinically used radiosensitizer hafnium oxide (HfO) that was core coated with a MnO shell followed by a glucose oxidase (GOx) doping nanoplatform (HfO@MnO@GOx, HMG) to trigger ferroptosis adjuvant effects by glutathione depletion and reactive oxygen species production. This ferroptosis cascade potentiation further sensitized radiotherapy by enhancing DNA damage in 4T1 breast cancer tumor cells. The combination of HMG nanoparticles and radiotherapy effectively activated the damaged DNA and Mn-mediated cGAS-STING immune pathway in vitro and in vivo. This process had significant inhibitory effects on cancer progression and initiating an anticancer systemic immune response to prevent distant tumor recurrence and achieve long-lasting tumor suppression of both primary and distant tumors. Furthermore, the as-prepared HMG nanoparticles "turned on" spectral computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance dual-modality imaging signals, and demonstrated favorable contrast enhancement capabilities activated by under the GSH tumor microenvironment. This result highlighted the potential of nanoparticles as a theranostic nanoplatform for achieving molecular imaging guided tumor radiotherapy sensitization induced by synergistic immunotherapy.
