Liposomes are the first and mostly explored nanocarriers for cancer drug delivery, which have shown great promise in clinical applications, but their limited accumulation and penetration into the tumor interstitial space, significantly reduce the therapeutic efficacy. Here, a γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT)-triggered charge-switchable approach is reported that can trigger the fast endocytosis and transcytosis of the liposome in tumor microenvironments to overcome the harsh biological barriers in tumor tissues. The active transporting liposomal nanocarrier (GCSDL) is prepared by surface modification with a glutathione (GSH) moiety and encapsulated with doxorubicin (DOX). When the GCSDL contacts with tumor vascular endothelial cells, the overexpressed GGT enzyme on cytomembrane catalyzes the hydrolysis of GSH to generate cationic primary amines. The cationic GCSDL triggers fast caveolae-mediated endocytosis and vesicle-mediated transcytosis, resulting in sequential transcytosis to augment its tumor accumulation and penetration. Along with continual intercellular transportation, GCSDL can release DOX throughout the tumor to induce cancer cell apoptosis, resulting in complete eradication of hepatocellular carcinoma and cessation of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma's progression. This study develops an efficient strategy to realize high tumor accumulation and deep penetration for the liposomal drug delivery system via active transcytosis.
脂质体是用于癌症药物递送的第一代也是研究最多的纳米载体,在临床应用中显示出巨大的应用前景,但它们在肿瘤间质中的有限积累和渗透,大大降低了治疗效果。在这里,报道了一种γ-谷氨酰转肽酶(GGT)触发的电荷可转换方法,该方法可以触发脂质体在肿瘤微环境中的快速内吞作用和转胞吞作用,以克服肿瘤组织中苛刻的生物学屏障。通过用谷胱甘肽(GSH)部分进行表面修饰来制备主动转运脂质体纳米载体(GCSDL),并包封阿霉素(DOX)。当 GCSDL 与肿瘤血管内皮细胞接触时,细胞表面上过表达的 GGT 酶催化 GSH 的水解生成阳离子伯胺。阳离子 GCSDL 触发快速的小窝蛋白介导的内吞作用和囊泡介导的转胞吞作用,从而连续地转胞吞作用来增加其肿瘤积累和渗透。随着细胞间的不断运输,GCSDL 可以在整个肿瘤中释放 DOX,诱导癌细胞凋亡,从而完全根除肝癌并阻止胰腺导管腺癌的进展。本研究通过主动转胞吞作用开发了一种有效的策略,可实现脂质体药物递送系统的高肿瘤积累和深层渗透。
