An ideal cancer treatment should not only destroy primary tumors but also improve the immunogenicity of the tumor microenvironment to achieve a satisfactory anti-tumor immune effect. We designed a carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX)-anchored rhenium(I) photosensitizer, named CA-Re, that not only performs type-I and type-II photodynamic therapy (PDT) with high efficiency under hypoxia (nanomolar-level phototoxicity), but also evokes gasdermin D (GSDMD) mediated pyroptotic cell death to effectively stimulate tumor immunogenicity. CA-Re could disrupt and self-report the loss of membrane integrity simultaneously. This promoted the maturation and antigen-presenting ability of dendritic cells (DCs), and fully activated T cells dependent adaptive immune response in vivo, eventually eliminating distant tumors at the same time as destroying primary tumors. To the best of our knowledge, CA-Re is the first metal complex-based pyroptosis inducer.
