[0132] Eight-week-old male balb/c mice were obtained from the Institute of Laboratory Animal Science, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (Beijing, China), and were adaptively fed for one week before the start of the research. All mice were placed in a temperature-controlled environment, with a 12-hour light/dark cycle at 222 C., and were provided with sterile food and drinking water. All experiments involving animals were conducted according to the Guide for the Use and Care of Laboratory Animals, and this research was approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee Sub-center of the National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases (FZX-IACUCC-2024005).
2. Construction of Tumor-Bearing Mice Model:
[0133] Eight-week-old balb/c mice, after removing the hair under the armpit, were subcutaneously injected with 810.sup.6 4T1 cells, and small rounded protruding vesicles could be observed at the inoculation site. The mice were returned to the cage, and after 3-5 days, obvious white masses could be seen at the injection site, indicating the successful establishment of the tumor-bearing mice model.
3. Experimental Animal Grouping and Processing
[0134] Eighteen tumor-bearing mice were divided into PBS group, cy5.5-TBMzyme group and cy5.5-ATBMzyme group, with six mice in each group.
4. Experimental Drugs:
[0135] The test drugs are: Cy5.5 labeled ATBMzyme nanoenzymes (cy5.5-ATBMzyme nanoenzymes), Cy5.5 labeled TBMzyme (cy5.5-TBMzyme nanoenzyme).
[0136] Synthesis of cy5.5-ATBMzyme nanoenzymes: 10 mg of TBMzyme/ATBMzyme were weighed and dispersed in 10 ml of deionized water, 1 mg of Cy5.5-NHS ester were added and stirred for 2 h, and dialyzed and lyophilized to obtain Cy5.5 labeled ATBMzyme nanoenzymes. cy5.5-TBMzyme nanoenzyme is the same as cy5.5-ATBMzyme nanoenzymes. The method of preparing cy5.5-ATBMzyme nanoenzymes solution is: weighing appropriate amount of cy5.5-ATBMzyme nanoenzymes lyophilized powder, adding appropriate amount of deionized water, and preparing 5 mg/mL of cy5.5-ATBMzyme nanoenzymes solution using probe ultrasonication. The method of preparing cy5.5-TBMzyme nanoenzyme solution is the same as that for cy5.5-ATBMzyme nanoenzymes solution.
5. In Vivo Distribution Study of TBMzyme Nanoenzyme and ATBMzyme Nanoenzymes:
[0137] Through tail vein injection, PBS buffer, cy5.5-ATBMzyme nanoenzymes solution, and cy5.5-TBMzyme nanoenzyme solution were injected into tumor-bearing mice in PBS group, cy5.5-TBMzyme group, and cy5.5-ATBMzyme group respectively, with an injection dose of 10 mg/kg body weight. At 24 h after injection, the heart, liver, spleen, kidney, lung, and tumor tissues of the mice were collected for immunofluorescence staining of frozen sections.

6. Biological Safety Assessment of TBMzyme Nanoenzyme and ATBMzyme Nanoenzyme:
[0140] Through tail vein injection, PBS buffer, cy5.5-ATBMzyme nanoenzymes solution, and cy5.5-TBMzyme nanoenzyme solution were injected into tumor-bearing mice in PBS group, cy5.5-TBMzyme group, and cy5.5-ATBMzyme group, respectively, with an injection dose of 10 mg/kg body weight. The injection was performed once a week for a total of 4 weeks. After 4 weeks, the liver and kidney tissues of the mice were collected for HE staining. Meanwhile, blood samples were collected from the mice by orbital blood collection method, and the blood samples were centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes. Then, serum was collected from the supernatant, and ELISA kits were used to evaluate the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT, elabscience, E-BC-K235-M), aspartate aminotransferase (AST, elabscience, E-BC-K236-M), urea (UREA, elabscience, E-BC-K183-M), and creatinine (CREA, elabscience, E-BC-K188-M) in the serum.

1. Experimental Animals:
[0146] Eight-week-old male balb/c mice were obtained from the Institute of Laboratory Animal Science, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (Beijing, China), and were adaptively fed for one week before the start of the research. All mice were placed in a temperature-controlled environment, with a 12-hour light/dark cycle at 222 C., and were provided with sterile food and drinking water. All experiments involving animals were conducted according to the Guide for the Use and Care of Laboratory Animals, and this research was approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee Sub-center of the National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases (FZX-IACUCC-2024005).
2. Construction of Tumor-Bearing Mice Model:
[0147] The method for constructing tumor-bearing mice models is the same as in Example 6, which will not be repeated here. After the successful construction of the tumor-bearing mice models, a vernier caliper was used to measure the length and width of the tumor mass, and the volume of the tumor mass was calculated.
3. Experimental Animal Grouping and Processing
[0148] Twenty-four tumor-bearing mice were divided into Vehicle group, DOX group, DOX+TBMzyme group, and DOX+ATBMzyme group, with 6 mice in each group.
[0149] Tumor-bearing mice in DOX group, DOX+TBMzyme group, and DOX+ATBMzyme group were all injected with DOX through tail vein (injection dose was 5 mg/kg body weight). Mice of the Vehicle group were injected with saline through tail vein, with injections once per week for a total of four weeks. Moreover, 6 h before each DOX injection, tumor-bearing mice of the DOX group, DOX+TBMzyme group, and DOX+ATBMzyme group were injected through tail vein with saline (injection dose was 1 ml/kg body weight), TBMzyme nanoenzyme solution (injection dose was 10 mg/kg body weight), ATBMzyme nanoenzymes solution (injection dose was 15 mg/kg body weight) respectively. Mice of Vehicle group were injected with saline through tail vein at the same time period.
