The confused gene expressions and molecular mechanisms for mitochondrial dysfunction of traditional nanoenzymes is a challenge for tumor therapy. Herein, a nano-bacilliform-enzyme obtains the ability to inhibit p52-ZER6 signal pathway, regulate the genes related to mitochondrial metabolism, and possess the GOx/CAT/POD-like property. NBE acquires catalytic activity from the electronic energy transition. The tannin of NBE as a mitochondrial (Mito)-targeting guide overloads MitoROS, and then metabolic disorder and lipid peroxidation of Mito membrane occurs, thus leading to a novel death pathway called PAFerroptosis (pyroptosis, apoptosis, and Ferroptosis). Simultaneously, in order to refrain from mitophagy, hydroxychloroquine is mixed with NBE to form a combo with strength pyroptosis. As a result, NBE/combo improves the PAFerroptosis obviously by activation of CD8+T cells and inactivation of MDSC cells, up-regulating expression of caspase-3 signal pathway, intercepting DHODH pathway to arrive excellent antitumor effect (93%). Therefore, this study establishes a rational nanoenzyme for mitochondrial dysfunction without mitophagy for effective antitumor therapy.
