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.
纳米医学若要克服系统性和肿瘤组织屏障,理想情况下应该具有可转换的大小和表面,在延长循环的同时保持一定的大小和负表面电荷,同时减小到更小的尺寸,并切换为正表面电荷,以有效穿透并滞留于肿瘤组织中的细胞间质。然而,这种大小和电荷双转换纳米医学的设计很少有报道。本文报道了一种壳层堆积纳米颗粒(SNP)的设计,该颗粒在酸性肿瘤组织中可显著减小尺寸,从约 145nm 减小至 40nm,表面电荷从-7.4mV 反转至 8.2mV,从而增强了深层肿瘤组织中细胞的肿瘤穿透和摄取。二硫键交联的核保持了颗粒的稳定性,并防止了不必要的过早药物释放,直到外壳脱落,这加速了更多暴露的二硫键的断裂和细胞内药物释放。SNP 可穿透约 1mm 深度的异种移植 A549 肺癌,是不可变形 SNP 的大约四倍。载多柔比星(DOX)的 SNP(SNP/DOX)表现出显著的抗肿瘤功效,几乎根除了肿瘤,证实了大小和电荷双转换纳米医学设计的重要性。
