Insufficient drug release as well as poor drug penetration are major obstacles for effective nanoparticles (NPs)‐based cancer therapy. Herein, the high aqueous instability of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is employed to construct doxorubicin (DOX) preloaded and monostearin (MS) coated “Pandora's box” (MS/ACC–DOX) NPs for lipase‐triggered water‐responsive drug release in lipase‐overexpressed tumor tissue to induce a neighboring effect and enhance drug penetration. MS as a solid lipid can prevent potential drug leakage of ACC–DOX NPs during the circulatory process, while it can be readily be disintegrated in lipase‐overexpressed SKOV3 cells to expose the ACC–DOX core. The high aqueous instability of ACC will lead to burst release of the encapsulated DOX to induce apoptosis and cytotoxicity to kill the tumor cells. The liberated NPs from the dead or dying cells continue to respond to the ubiquitous aqueous environment to sufficiently release DOX once unpacked, like the “Pandora's box”, leading to severe cytotoxicity to neighboring cells (neighboring effect). Moreover, the continuously released free DOX molecules can readily diffused through the tumor extracellular matrix to enhance drug penetration to deep tumor tissue. Both effects contribute to achieve elevated antitumor benefits. 相似文献

Controlled delivery of protein therapeutics remains a challenge. Here, the inclusion of diselenide‐bond‐containing organosilica moieties into the framework of silica to fabricate biodegradable mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with oxidative and redox dual‐responsiveness is reported. These diselenide‐bridged MSNs can encapsulate cytotoxic RNase A into the 8–10 nm internal pores via electrostatic interaction and release the payload via a matrix‐degradation controlled mechanism upon exposure to oxidative or redox conditions. After surface cloaking with cancer‐cell‐derived membrane fragments, these bioinspired RNase A‐loaded MSNs exhibit homologous targeting and immune‐invasion characteristics inherited from the source cancer cells. The efficient in vitro and in vivo anti‐cancer performance, which includes increased blood circulation time and enhanced tumor accumulation along with low toxicity, suggests that these cell‐membrane‐coated, dual‐responsive degradable MSNs represent a promising platform for the delivery of bio‐macromolecules such as protein and nucleic acid therapeutics. 相似文献

Multidrug resistance (MDR) and adverse side effects are the major challenges facing cancer chemotherapy. Here, pH/protease dually responsive, sericin‐coated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (SMSNs) for lysosomal delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) to overcome MDR and reduce systemic toxicity are reported. Sericin, a natural protein from silkworm cocoons, is coated onto MSNs as a gatekeeper via pH sensitive imine linkages. The sericin shell prevents the premature leakage of encapsulated DOX from MSNs in extracellular environment. Once reaching drug‐resistant tumors, sericin's cell‐adhesive bioactivity enhances cellular uptake of SMSNs that are in turn transported into perinuclear lysosomes, thus avoiding drug efflux mediated by membrane‐bound pumps. Lysosomal acidity triggers cleavage of pH sensitive linkage between sericin and MSNs concurrently with lysosomal proteases deconstructing sericin shell. This pH/protease dual responsiveness leads to DOX burst release into cell nuclei, inducing effective cell death, thus reversing MDR. These DOX‐loaded SMSNs not only effectively kill drug‐resistant cells in vitro, but also significantly reduce the growth of DOX‐resistant MCF‐7/ADR (breast cancer cells) tumor by 70% in a preclinical animal model without eliciting systemic toxicity frequently encountered in current clinical therapeutic formulations. Thus, the dually responsive SMSNs are an effective, lysosome‐tropic, and bio‐safe delivery system for chemotherapeutics for combating MDR. 相似文献

The application of nanoparticles (NPs) to drug delivery has led to the development of novel nanotherapeutics for the treatment of various diseases including cancer. However, clinical use of NP‐mediated drug delivery has not always translated into improved survival of cancer patients, in part due to the suboptimal properties of NP platforms, such as premature drug leakage during preparation, storage, or blood circulation, lack of active targeting to tumor tissue and cells, and poor tissue penetration. Herein, an innovative reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐responsive polyprodrug is reported that can self‐assemble into stable NPs with high drug loading. This new NP platform is composed of the following key components: (i) polyprodrug inner core that can respond to ROS for triggered release of intact therapeutic molecules, (ii) polyethylene glycol (PEG) outer shell to prolong blood circulation; and (iii) surface‐encoded internalizing RGD (iRGD) to enhance tumor targeting and tissue penetration. These targeted ROS‐responsive polyprodrug NPs show significant inhibition of tumor cell growth both in vitro and in vivo. 相似文献

Despite advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment, ovarian cancer remains one of the most fatal cancer types. The development of targeted nanoparticle imaging probes and therapeutics offers promising approaches for early detection and effective treatment of ovarian cancer. In this study, HER‐2 targeted magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are developed by conjugating a high affinity and small size HER‐2 affibody that is labeled with a unique near infrared dye (NIR‐830) to the nanoparticles. Using a clinically relevant orthotopic human ovarian tumor xenograft model, it is shown that HER‐2 targeted IONPs are selectively delivered into both primary and disseminated ovarian tumors, enabling non‐invasive optical and MR imaging of the tumors as small as 1 mm in the peritoneal cavity. It is determined that HER‐2 targeted delivery of the IONPs is essential for specific and sensitive imaging of the HER‐2 positive tumor since we are unable to detect the imaging signal in the tumors following systemic delivery of non‐targeted IONPs into the mice bearing HER‐2 positive SKOV3 tumors. Furthermore, imaging signals and the IONPs are not detected in HER‐2 low expressing OVCAR3 tumors after systemic delivery of HER‐2 targeted‐IONPs. Since HER‐2 is expressed in a high percentage of ovarian cancers, the HER‐2 targeted dual imaging modality IONPs have potential for the development of novel targeted imaging and therapeutic nanoparticles for ovarian cancer detection, targeted drug delivery, and image‐guided therapy and surgery. 相似文献

A novel pH‐ and redox‐ dual‐responsive tumor‐triggered targeting mesoporous silica nanoparticle (TTTMSN) is designed as a drug carrier. The peptide RGDFFFFC is anchored on the surface of mesoporous silica nanoparticles via disulfide bonds, which are redox‐responsive, as a gatekeeper as well as a tumor‐targeting ligand. PEGylated technology is employed to protect the anchored peptide ligands. The peptide and monomethoxypolyethylene glycol (MPEG) with benzoic‐imine bond, which is pH‐sensitive, are then connected via “click” chemistry to obtain TTTMSN. In vitro cell research demonstrates that the targeting property of TTTMSN is switched off in normal tissues with neutral pH condition, and switched on in tumor tissues with acidic pH condition after removing the MPEG segment by hydrolysis of benzoic‐imine bond under acidic conditions. After deshielding of the MPEG segment, the drug‐loaded nanoparticles are easily taken up by tumor cells due to the exposed peptide targeting ligand, and subsequently the redox signal glutathione in tumor cells induces rapid drug release intracellularly after the cleavage of disulfide bond. This novel intelligent TTTMSN drug delivery system has great potential for cancer therapy. 相似文献

Chemo‐phototherapy, as a promising cancer combination therapy strategy, has attracted widespread attention. However, the complex tumor microenvironment restricts the penetration depth of chemo‐phototherapy agents in the tumor region. Here, biodegradable amphiphilic gelatin (AG) wrapped nanocomposite (PRDCuS@AG) composed of doxorubicin and copper sulfide (CuS)‐loaded dendrimer is designed for deep tumor chemo‐phototherapy. PR in PRDCuS@AG represents arginine‐conjugated polyamidoamine dendrimer. PRDCuS@AG can rapidly biodegrade into PRDCuS by matrix metalloproteinases under near‐infrared light irradiation. The resulted PRDCuS harbors dual cell‐tissue penetration ability, which can effectively penetrate deep into the tumor tissue. In particular, PRDCuS@AG achieves photoacoustic imaging‐guided synergistic chemo‐phototherapy with 97% of tumor inhibition rate. Moreover, PRDCuS@AG can further degrade into 3 nm ultrasmall CuS, which can be eliminated from the body after treatment to avoid side effects. This strategy provides an insight that the development of chemo‐phototherapy agents with high penetration ability to overcome the limitation of current deep tumor therapy. 相似文献

Tumors are 3D, composed of cellular agglomerations and blood vessels. Therapies involving nanoparticles utilize specific accumulations due to the leaky vascular structures. However, systemically injected nanoparticles are mostly uptaken by cells located on the surfaces of cancer tissues, lacking deep penetration into the core cancer regions. Herein, an unprecedented strategy, described as injecting “nanoparticle‐loaded nanoparticles” to address the long‐lasting problem is reported for effective surface‐to‐core drug delivery in entire 3D tumors. The “nanoparticle‐loaded nanoparticle” is a silica nanoparticle (≈150 nm) with well‐developed, interconnected channels (diameter of ≈30 nm), in which small gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) (≈15 nm) with programmable DNA are located. The nanoparticle (AuNPs)‐loaded nanoparticles (silica): (1) can accumulate in tumors through leaky vascular structures by protecting the inner therapeutic AuNPs during blood circulation, and then (2) allow diffusion of the AuNPs for penetration into the entire surface‐to‐core tumor tissues, and finally (3) release a drug triggered by cancer‐characteristic pH gradients. The hierarchical “nanoparticle‐loaded nanoparticle” can be a rational design for cancer therapies because the outer large nanoparticles are effective in blood circulation and in protection of the therapeutic nanoparticles inside, allowing the loaded small nanoparticles to penetrate deeply into 3D tumors with anticancer drugs. 相似文献

Drug resistance is the greatest challenge in clinical cancer chemotherapy. Co‐delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs and siRNA to tumor cells is a vital means to silence drug resistant genes during the course of cancer chemotherapy for an improved chemotherapeutic effect. This study aims at effective co‐delivery of siRNA and anticancer drugs to tumor cells. A ternary block copolymer PEG‐PAsp(AED)‐PDPA consisting of pH‐sensitive poly(2‐(diisopropyl amino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDPA), reduction‐sensitive poly(N‐(2,2′‐dithiobis(ethylamine)) aspartamide) PAsp(AED), and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is synthesized and assembled into a core‐shell structural micelle which encapsulated doxorubicin (DOX) in its pH‐sensitive core and the siRNA‐targeting anti‐apoptosis BCL‐2 gene (BCL‐2 siRNA) in a reduction‐sensitive interlayer. At the optimized size and zeta potential, the nanocarriers loaded with DOX and BCL‐2 siRNA may effectively accumulate in the tumor site via blood circulation. Moreover, the dual stimuli‐responsive design of micellar carriers allows microenviroment‐specific rapid release of both DOX and BCL‐2 siRNA inside acidic lysosomes with enriched reducing agent, glutathione (GSH, up to 10 mm ). Consequently, the expression of anti‐apoptotic BCL‐2 protein induced by DOX treatment is significantly down‐regulated, which results in synergistically enhanced apoptosis of human ovarian cancer SKOV‐3 cells and thus dramatically inhibited tumor growth. 相似文献

Upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP)‐mediated photodynamic therapy has shown great effectiveness in increasing the tissue‐penetration depth of light to combat deep‐seated tumors. However, the inevitable phototoxicity to normal tissues resulting from the lack of tumor selectivity remains as a major challenge. Here, the development of tumor‐pH‐sensitive photodynamic nanoagents (PPNs) comprised of self‐assembled photosensitizers grafted pH‐responsive polymeric ligands and UCNPs is reported. Under neutral pH conditions, photosensitizers aggregated in the PPNs are self‐quenched; however, upon entry into a tumor microenvironment with lower pH, the PPNs not only exhibit enhanced tumor‐cell internalization due to charge reversal but also are further disassembled into well‐dispersed nanoparticles in the endo/lysosomes of tumor cells, enabling the efficient activation of photosensitizers. The results demonstrate the attractive properties of both UCNP‐mediated deep‐tissue penetration of light and high therapeutic selectivity in vitro and in vivo. 相似文献

Poor deep tumor penetration and incomplete intracellular drug release remain challenges for antitumor nanomedicine application in clinical settings. Herein, a nanomedicine (RLPA‐NPs) is developed that can achieve prolonged blood circulation, deep tumor penetration, active‐targeting of cancer cells, endosome/lysosome escape, and intracellular selectivity self‐amplified drug release for effective drug delivery. The RLPA‐NPs are constructed by encapsulation of a pH‐sensitive polymer octadecylamine‐poly(aspartate‐1‐(3‐aminopropyl) imidazole) (OA‐P(Asp‐API)) and a ROS‐generation agent, β‐Lapachone (Lap), in micelles assembled by the tumor‐penetration peptide internalizing RGD (iRGD)‐modified ROS‐responsive paclitaxel (PTX)‐prodrug. iRGD could promote RLPA‐NPs penetration into deep tumor tissue, and specific targeting to cancer cells. After internalization by cancer cells through receptor‐mediated endocytosis, OA‐P(Asp‐API) can rapidly protonate in the endosome's acidic environment, resulting in RLPA‐NPs escape from the endosome through the “proton sponge effect”. At the same time, the RLPA‐NPs micelle disassembles, releasing Lap and PTX‐prodrug. Subsequently, the released Lap could generate ROS, consequently amplifying and accelerating PTX release to kill tumor cells. The in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that RLPA‐NPs can significantly improve the therapeutic effect compared to control groups. Therefore, RLPA‐NPs are a promising nanoplatform for overcoming multiple physiological and pathological barriers to enhance drug delivery. 相似文献

Stimuli‐responsive drug‐delivery systems constitute an appealing approach to direct and restrict drug release spatiotemporally at the specific site of interest. However, it is difficult for most systems to affect every cancer cell in a tumor tissue due to the presence of the natural tumor barrier, leading to potential tumor recurrence. Here, core–shell magnetoresponsive virus‐mimetic nanocapsules (VNs), which can infect cancer cells sequentially and double as a magnetothermal agent fabricated through anchoring iron oxide nanoparticles in a single‐component protein (lactoferrin) shell, are reported. With large payload of hydrophilic/hydrophobic anticancer cargos, doxorubicin and palictaxel, VNs can simultaneously give a rapid drug release and intense heat while applying an external high‐frequency magnetic field (HFMF). Furthermore, after being liberated from dead cells by HFMF manipulation, the constructive VNs can sequentially infect neighboring cancer cells and deliver sufficient therapeutic agents to next targeted sites. With high efficiency for sequential cell infections, VNs have successfully eliminated subcutaneous tumor after a combinatorial treatment. These results demonstrate that the VNs could be used for locally targeted, on‐demand, magnetoresponsive chemotherapy/hyperthermia, combined with repeated cell infections for tumor therapy and other therapeutic applications. 相似文献

Red blood cell (RBC) membrane‐cloaked nanoparticles, reserving the intact cell membrane structure and membrane protein, can gain excellent cell‐specific functions such as long blood circulation and immune escape, providing a promising therapy nanoplatform for drug delivery. Herein, a novel RBC membrane biomimetic combination therapeutic system with tumor targeting ability is constructed by embedding bovine serum albumin (BSA) encapsulated with 1,2‐diaminocyclohexane‐platinum (II) (DACHPt) and indocyanine green (ICG) in the targeting peptide‐modified erythrocyte membrane (R‐RBC@BPtI) for enhancing tumor internalization and synergetic chemophototherapy. R‐RBC@BPtI displays excellent stability and high encapsulation efficiency with multiple cores enveloped in the membrane. Benefited from the stealth functionality and targeting modification of erythrocyte membranes, R‐RBC@BPtI can significantly promote tumor targeting and cellular uptake. Under the near‐infrared laser stimuli, R‐RBC@BPtI presents remarkable instability by singlet oxygen and heat‐mediated cleavage so as to trigger effective drug release, thereby achieving deep penetration and accumulation of DACHPt and ROS in the tumor site. Consequently, R‐RBC@BPtI with tumor‐specific targeting ability accomplishes remarkable ablation of tumors and suppressed lung metastasis in vivo by photothermal and chemotherapy combined ablation under phototriggering. This research provides a novel strategy of targeted biomimetic nanoplatforms for combined cancer chemotherapy–phototherapy. 相似文献

Irinotecan is one of the main chemotherapeutic agents for colorectal cancer (CRC). MicroRNA‐200 (miR‐200) has been reported to inhibit metastasis in cancer cells. Herein, pH‐sensitive and peptide‐modified liposomes and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) are designed for encapsulation of irinotecan and miR‐200, respectively. These peptides include one cell‐penetrating peptide, one ligand targeted to tumor neovasculature undergoing angiogenesis, and one mitochondria‐targeting peptide. The peptide‐modified nanoparticles are further coated with a pH‐sensitive PEG‐lipid derivative with an imine bond. These specially‐designed nanoparticles exhibit pH‐responsive release, internalization, and intracellular distribution in acidic pH of colon cancer HCT116 cells. These nanoparticles display low toxicity to blood and noncancerous intestinal cells. Delivery of miR‐200 by SLN further increases the cytotoxicity of irinotecan‐loaded liposomes against CRC cells by triggering apoptosis and suppressing RAS/β‐catenin/ZEB/multiple drug resistance (MDR) pathways. Using CRC‐bearing mice, the in vivo results further indicate that irinotecan and miR‐200 in pH‐responsive targeting nanoparticles exhibit positive therapeutic outcomes by inhibiting colorectal tumor growth and reducing systemic toxicity. Overall, successful delivery of miR and chemotherapy by multifunctional nanoparticles may modulate β‐catenin/MDR/apoptosis/metastasis signaling pathways and induce programmed cancer cell death. Thus, these pH‐responsive targeting nanoparticles may provide a potential regimen for effective treatment of colorectal cancer. 相似文献

A major drawback with current cancer therapy is the prevalence of unrequired dose‐limiting toxicity to non‐cancerous tissues and organs, which is further compounded by a limited ability to rapidly and easily monitor drug delivery, pharmacodynamics and therapeutic response. In this report, the design and characterization of novel multifunctional “theranostic” nanoparticles (TNPs) is described for enzyme‐specific drug activation at tumor sites and simultaneous in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of drug delivery. TNPs are synthesized by conjugation of FDA‐approved iron oxide nanoparticles ferumoxytol to an MMP‐activatable peptide conjugate of azademethylcolchicine (ICT), creating CLIO‐ICTs (TNPs). Significant cell death is observed in TNP‐treated MMP‐14 positive MMTV‐PyMT breast cancer cells in vitro, but not MMP‐14 negative fibroblasts or cells treated with ferumoxytol alone. Intravenous administration of TNPs to MMTV‐PyMT tumor‐bearing mice and subsequent MRI demonstrates significant tumor selective accumulation of the TNP, an observation confirmed by histopathology. Treatment with CLIO‐ICTs induces a significant antitumor effect and tumor necrosis, a response not observed with ferumoxytol. Furthermore, no toxicity or cell death is observed in normal tissues following treatment with CLIO‐ICTs, ICT, or ferumoxytol. These findings demonstrate proof of concept for a new nanotemplate that integrates tumor specificity, drug delivery and in vivo imaging into a single TNP entity through attachment of enzyme‐activated prodrugs onto magnetic nanoparticles. This novel approach holds the potential to significantly improve targeted cancer therapies, and ultimately enable personalized therapy regimens. 相似文献

The absence of targeted, single treatment methods produces low therapeutic value for treating cancers. To increase the accumulation of drugs in tumors and improve the treatment effectiveness, near‐infrared 808 nm photothermal responsive dual aptamers‐targeted docetaxel (DTX)‐containing nanoparticles is proposed. In this system, DTX and NH4HCO3 are loaded in thermosensitive liposomes. The surface of liposomes is coated with gold nanoshells and connected with sulfydryl (SH? ) modified AS1411 and S2.2 aptamers. The nanosystem has good biocompatibility and uniform size (diameter about 200 nm). The drug is rapidly released, reaching a maximum amount (84%) at 4 h under 808 nm laser irradiation. The experiments conducted in vitro and in vivo demonstrate the nanosystem can synergistically inhibit tumor growth by combination of chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, and biological therapy. Dual ligand functionalization significantly increases cellular uptake on breast cancer cell line (MCF‐7) cells and achieves ultrasound imaging (USI) at tumor site. The results indicate that this drug delivery system is a promising theranostic agent involving light‐thermal response at tumor sites, dual ligand targeted triplex therapy, and USI. 相似文献

Nanomedicine to overcome both systemic and tumor tissue barriers ideally should have a transformable size and surface, maintaining a certain size and negative surface charge for prolonged circulation, while reducing to a smaller size and switching to a positive surface charge for efficient penetration to and retention in the interstitial space throughout the tumor tissue. However, the design of such size and charge dual‐transformable nanomedicine is rarely reported. Here, the design of a shell‐stacked nanoparticle (SNP) is reported, which can undergo remarkable size reduction from about 145 to 40 nm, and surface charge reversal from ?7.4 to 8.2 mV at acidic tumor tissue, for enhanced tumor penetration and uptake by cells in deep tumor tissue. The disulfide‐cross‐linked core maintains the stability of the particle and prevents undesired premature drug release until the shedding of the shell, which accelerates the cleavage of more exposed disulfide bond sand intracellular drug release. SNP penetrates about 1 mm into xenografted A549 lung carcinoma, which is about four times penetration depth of the nontransformable one. The doxorubicin (DOX)‐loaded SNP (SNP/DOX) shows significant antitumor efficacy and nearly eradicates the tumor, substantiating the importance of the design of size and charge dual‐transformable nanomedicine. 相似文献

Nanodrug‐based cancer therapy is impeded by poor penetration into deep tumor tissues mainly due to the overexpression of hyaluronic acid (HA) in the tumor extracellular matrix (ECM). Although modification of nanoparticles (NPs) with hyaluronidase (HAase) is a potent strategy, it remains challenging to get a uniform distribution of drug at the tumor site because of the internalization of NPs by the cells in the tumor and HA regeneration. Herein, an intelligent nanocarrier, which can release HAase in response to the acidic tumor microenvironment (pH 6.5) and perform a strong neighboring effect with size reduction to overcome the above two problems and accomplish drug deep tumor penetration in vivo, is reported. In this design, HAase is encapsulated on the surfaces of doxorubicin (DOX) preloaded ZnO‐DOX NPs using a charge convertible polymer PEG‐PAH‐DMMA (ZDHD). The polymer can release HAase to degrade HA in the tumor ECM (pH 6.5). ZnO‐DOX NPs can release DOX in lysosomes (pH 4.5) to induce cell apoptosis, and exert a neighboring effect with size reduction to infect neighboring cells. The hierarchical targeted release of HAase and drugs is demonstrated to enhance tumor penetration and decrease side effects in vivo. This work shows promise for further application of ZDHD NPs in cancer therapy. 相似文献

Development of molecular probes holds great promise for early diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer. Here, 2‐[3‐(1,3‐dicarboxypropyl) ureido] pentanedioic acid (DUPA)‐conjugated ligand and bis‐isoindigo‐based polymer (BTII) are synthesized to formulate semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (BTII‐DUPA SPN) as a prostate‐specific membrane antigen (PSMA)‐targeted probe for prostate cancer imaging in the NIR‐II window. Insights into the interaction of the imaging probes with the biological targets from single cell to whole organ are obtained by transient absorption (TA) microscopy and photoacoustic (PA) tomography. At single‐cell level, TA microscopy reveals the targeting efficiency, kinetics, and specificity of BTII‐DUPA SPN to PSMA‐positive prostate cancer. At organ level, PA tomographic imaging of BTII‐DUPA SPN in the NIR‐II window demonstrates superior imaging depth and contrast. By intravenous administration, BTII‐DUPA SPN demonstrates selective accumulation and retention in the PSMA‐positive tumor, allowing noninvasive PA detection of PSMA overexpressing prostate tumors in vivo. The distribution of nanoparticles inside the tumor tissue is further analyzed through TA microscopy. These results collectively demonstrate BTII‐DUPA SPN as a promising probe for prostate cancer diagnosis by PA tomography. 相似文献
