Abstract

Abstract Immunogenic cell death (ICD) can activate the body's immune system via dead cell antigens to achieve immunotherapy. Currently, small molecule drugs have been used for ICD treatment in clinical, however, how to precisely control the induced ICD while treating tumors is of great significance for improving therapeutic efficacy. Based on this, a sono/light dual response strategy to tumor therapy and activation of ICD is proposed. A topological synthesis method is used to obtain sulfur‐doped bismuth oxide Bi 2 O 3−x S x (BS) using BiF 3 (BF) as a template through reduction and a morphology‐controllable bismuth‐based nano‐semiconductor with a narrow bandgap is constructed. Under the stimulation of ultrasound, BS can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) through the sonocatalytic process, which cooperates with BS to consume glutathione and enhance cellular oxidative damage, further inducing ICD. Due to the introduction of sulfur in the reduction reaction, BS can achieve photothermal conversion under light, and combine with ROS to treat tumors. Further, with the assistance of ivermectin (IVM) to form composite (BSM), combined with sono/light dual strategy, ICD is promoted and DCs maturation is accelerated. The proposed ICD‐mediated hyperthermia/sonocatalytic therapy strategy will pay the way for synergetic enhancement of tumor treatment efficacy and provide a feasible idea for controllable induction of ICD.
