Due to its non-invasive and highly effective characteristics, radiotherapy has attracted significant interest in cancer treatment. However, radioresistance of solid tumors caused by a unique tumor microenvironment diminishes the therapeutic effect of cancer radiotherapy. To address this issue, we developed a nanoplatform for tumor-specific targeting to improve radiotherapy. Specifically, hollow CuS nanoparticles were decorated with the platelet cell membrane (PC), endowing this nanoplatform with the therapeutic property of navigating to the tumor region for glutathione (GSH)-depletion photothermal therapy. It was discovered that mild photothermal therapy mediated by PC ameliorated hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment. Meanwhile, GSH, which contributes to repairing radiotherapy-induced DNA double-strand breaks, was depleted by PC in an acidic microenvironment. Therefore, radioresistance could be diminished while cancer cell self-repair was prevented. At therapeutic doses, PC nanoparticles have negligible toxic effects on normal tissues. PC demonstrates promise for both and radiosensitization due to its GSH-depletion, photothermal efficiency, and tumor-specific properties.
由于其无创和高效的特点,放射疗法在癌症治疗中引起了广泛关注。然而,独特的肿瘤微环境导致实体瘤的放射抗性降低了癌症放射治疗的效果。为了解决这个问题,我们开发了一种用于肿瘤特异性靶向的纳米平台,以改善放射治疗。具体而言,中空硫化铜纳米颗粒用血小板细胞膜(PC)进行了修饰,赋予该纳米平台导航至肿瘤区域进行谷胱甘肽(GSH)消耗光热疗法的治疗特性。研究发现,由PC介导的温和光热疗法改善了肿瘤微环境中的缺氧情况。同时,在酸性微环境中,PC消耗了有助于修复放射治疗诱导的DNA双链断裂的GSH。因此,在防止癌细胞自我修复的同时,可以降低放射抗性。在治疗剂量下,PC纳米颗粒对正常组织的毒性作用可忽略不计。由于其GSH消耗、光热效率和肿瘤特异性特性,PC在放射增敏方面显示出前景。
